Absolutely, religion is the root cause of all evil, causes much more damage than the good it supposedly does. Religion means right and wrong, which means punishment for wrong doings and therefore a direct link to violence!

What an idiotic comparison! Dude, all those you mentioned fought for their countries by whetever means they felt right at that point of time. They may have been named terrorists by those people who had occupied India. But they were all harcorfe patriots. How could you even think of comparing them with the current breed of terrorists, driven by a group of religious fanatics, who only know how to kill the innocent people for no considerations for their country or fello-citizens?

The difference between Buddhist violence and violence by the followers is that while the scriptures of Buddhism talks about the "well being of all living things" the others talk of "fighting in the cause of god till there is only religion in the whole world"
Read the scriptures of the religions to know what it preaches rather than going by the actions of its followers.
Mahabharata and Ramayana are not "holy books" like some others claiming that their book is air-dropped by some supreme creator! The tenets of hinduism are spread in hundreds of books and no sane hindu will tell you that the contents of their books are irrefutable or for meant for the mankind for all times to come. Despite of all short-comings, hinduism is dynamic enough to change with times.
All religions have outlived their utility. So the sooner we all come out of the religious dogmas, the better for the mankind.
