Someone posted this Wikipedia page on Buddhism and violence on a thread [View all]

over in GD so I went to that Wiki page and it had a big notice on it that said this:


This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page.
This article needs attention from an expert in Terrorism. (April 2013)
This article has an unclear citation style. (July 2013)

So I checked the first footnote and found out that that it linked to a book with an ISBN number but no other information except a title which was Buddihst Warfare

Here is the link to the book: http://www.ibookdb.net/isbn/9780195394849

I don't have an account with Wikipedia but I am going to open one to edit because I am fairly sure that there are a bunch of made up "facts" here but I would love if some people would help and especially if some know how to do it. If you read over at the link they make Buddhism seem as violent as all the other religions and I know that is the complete opposite from the truth.
