Thank you for the counterexample. It sounds like you know more about this subject than I do. I was actually hesitant to mention Buddhism, since it was partially responsible for the kamikaze and other horrific acts. Still, it does seem that different religions inspire different practices when it comes to violence and human rights. Parts of Islam (specifically Wahhabism and Salafism) are particularly bad these days. The US certainly hasn't helped the situation, but getting attacked by Predator drones is no reason to stone adulterers to death. Lastly, I feel bad after commenting on this article. I don't think this article has much to contribute to HN, nor do I think HN will contribute much to the dialogue. Sexism + politics is a mix that few can discuss with civility. Now I've injected religion into the mix. I apologize.
