dont know where else to put this but since this category has all the things about other religions, i'll stick it here ;)

I'm doing a research paper on Holy War for Ethics class. i need to know what each major religion out there thinks about war vs peace. i've got enough on islam b/c of events in the past few months, but i cant seem to find anything on other religions. does anyone know a webpage to look at? i cant just take people's word in replies because i cant really cite it as a credible source :( so any help i could get would be great. btw, the more info i get the better... the paper has to be 15 pages long! :eek:

For the Jews I would recommend taking a look at the old-testement. The modern history is between religions, but over land (the founding of Isreal, 7 day war, etc).

i was thinking that... but then i decided to do all my writing on modern times. and i want to look at all sides, like, what jews in israel feel vs what the religion teaches in the rest of the world today. i know it's kinda hard tho with them being the oldest religion to get anything modern LoL but that's basically what i'm looking for.
