A very few Budhists and some Christians have behaved violently over the past 30 years, but lots of Muslims have.

I don't know many (if any) Budhists or Muslims (outside of where I get my newpaper or take car service).

My guess is that Budhists are more likely to be Budhists and far fewer people who call themselves Christians are really Christian.

My guess is that you could just as easily incite Chrisitians to hate and want to kill (if the conditions are right) as for people to incite Muslims to hate and to want to kill.

My guess is that it is not inherently any of the major religions and their core beliefs that cause and are more susceptible to having a population ready to hate and willing to kill.

I don't think your thesis would hold up in a controlled scientific study. That is just a guess on my part.
