Perhaps my Google Fu is weak, but while prominent historically particularly in the West is it possible there are anywhere near as many Jews as Hindus or Buddhists?

Buddhism doesn't seem to get near the bad press Islam does, yet the Tamil Tigers are terrorists and Buddhists, which may coincide with Richard's point about violence from ideologies espousing peace. Instead of debating the veracity of any one particular faith over another, should we be looking at the nature of men?
