question 27

Essay

It was suggested in class and in the reading that you can find wars supported and justified by Islam and wars supported and justified by Buddhism. By looking briefly at the founders of these religions, suggest why the Islamic defense of war is more consistent than the Buddhist one. (I'm not saying any war is good, but some defenses of war are more consistent than others.)
