It's been my observation there is often not that strong of a correlation between what religious texts say and how its adherents behave, especially when it comes to matters such as this. We can have a semantic discussion about what "Buddhism" in "Buddhism is anti-violence" means exactly (What the text says? What scholars (which?) interpret? How Buddhists (which?) behave?), but that's kind of a boring discussion. IMHO "$religion is anti-violence" (or "$religion is violent", for that matter) is not that important.
