Just like the Bhuddist karmatic doctrine of rebirth was used to justify killing opponents of the Japanese. Of course, there were other doctrines that countered that. But it goes to show your point is mute.

But to entertain your clearly unrelated response, the Buddhists used the doctrine as justification. The doctrine did not tell them to kill. The Quran, on the other hand, tells Muslims to kill and slay non-believers. There's a major distinction between the two.

The Buddhists killed their opponents because of their interpretation of a doctrine.
Muslims (jihadis and Islamists) killed non-believers because the doctrines told them to kill non-believers. No interpretation is involved.

It's still a matter of interpretation if it's to kill other people, or the more popular interpretation: to defend the  fait. Don't forget the bible explicetly curses people who follow a different religion, so that thats not really a fair point to make.
