Adolf Hitler regarded himself as a vegetarian:
Most of Hitler's biographers have characterized him as a vegetarian who abstained from eating meat, beginning in the early 1930s until his death (although his actual dietary habits appear inconsistent and are sometimes hotly disputed). There are reports of him disgusting his guests by giving them graphic accounts of the slaughter of animals in an effort to make them shun meat. A fear of cancer (which his mother died from) is the most widely cited reason, though many authors also assert Hitler had a profound and deep love of animals. He did consume dairy products and eggs, however. Martin Bormann constructed a large greenhouse close to the Berghof (near Berchtesgaden) in order to ensure a steady supply of fresh fruits and vegetables for Hitler throughout the war. Personal photographs of Bormann's children tending the greenhouse survive and, by 2005, its foundations were among the only ruins visible in the area which were directly associated with Nazi leaders. For more information on this topic, see vegetarianism of Adolf Hitler.

The only possible link between the two would be that vegetarians are more likely to be repulsed by killing animals (human or otherwise) - but that is assuming they became vegetarians for animal rights/ welfare reasons instead of health or social reasons (or to help the planet!) etc.
The link is unfortuntately not there, although studies have shown that those who do not have a problem with abusing animals are far more likely not to to have a problem with abusuing humans (particularly abusing women and small children).
As a vegan I do share your (however far-fetched) ideal of a vegetarian / vegan world, but if the sole purpose of that is to reduce violence or environmental destruction, your time may be better spent focusing on those aims - i.e. educating people about the environmental impact of factory farming, or trying to reason a philosophy of non-harm with those who disagree.
As to the point about religion - I'm afraid it's all about interpretation. Choosing the right passages could argue either way!

Damn, feel pretty sorry for you. These people seem like they're gonna eat you. I know alot of people that have turned veg. but yes I must admit that it is difficult becoming veg from non veg. If these cruel people see videos of animals killed then they will prolly understand. Otherwise there "terrorists" when it comes to killing animals. Yes you are correct that all the terrorists are meat eaters. They have been in such an environment that if you dont eat meat, then its not food. They only think that vegies are for the animals they eat. I mean they are really cruel and inhumane people.

your thinking is entirely based on wrong presumptions.the food one takes-in has nothing to do with a person developing "terrorist" attitudes.
also your statement that no religion in the world teaches to kill animals is also entirely incorrect. if you read "manu smruthi" you will come to know the different types of non-veg food suggested by the rishi manu-even for priest-class!
a tiger feeds on a deer, so also a lion or hyena or a cat.it is natural and it is required to maintain the "balance" in nature.
in our country the communal-forces too are terrorists. godse was a vegetarian but he has murdred mahatma gandhi.
so don't get confused. there are many emotional reasons behind every terrorist-food has nothing to do with it

First of all, most terrorists are very extreme in their religious beliefs and therefore, truly believe in their missions. However, I do not understand how being a vegetarian or a meat eater is even slightly related. Furthermore, spreading vegetarianism is not going to eliminate overpopulation, pollution, global warming or natural disasters and even considering that it would even slightly affect the aforementioned is completely absurd! Lastly, have you ever heard of the food chain? Well, humans are at the very top!

Yup, the vegetarians are totally non-violent.
In fact one of the most famous vegetarians in the world was a
little man from Germany who fought in the first world war.
After converting to a vegetarian diet, he became a famous politician in Germany.
Perhaps you've heard of him.....
ADOLF HITLER.
Oh well, can't win 'em all right?

Narender Modi and Praveen tagodia are vegetarians. In fact, the entire sangh parivar which carried out the gujarat genocide. If everyone becomes vegetarian, then you will not have anything to eat. Note that all the animals eaten by meat eaters are vegetarians. Be thankful to the meat eaters that they are not touching your share.
BTW, one should use common sense and little bit of economics before asking such questions?

There are large numbers of vegetarians that are terrorists....the type of people who kill others and blow up buildings. Many of them are associated and/or supported by PETA. By this, I mean, these people are in jail and PEAT paid for their defense and the continuing effort to get them out of jail on appeal.

Then, there is the little matter of this:

Lol....it's not a stretch to say that the people on the FBI's terrorism watch lists are composed of two groups....muslims and vegetarians.

Hundreds/thousands of years....good luck with that.
I don't know if any terrorists are vegetarians. I bet those people in ELF are.
If you are right, evolution should eventually take care of it. In the meantime, you give your creed a bad name. I have no problem with vegetarians, but you, my friend, are a KOOK.

Well... all i can say abt this are a set of examples
Vegitarians> Cow, Donkey, Goat etc.
Non-vegitarians>Lion, Tiger, Cheetah, Bear etc.
I'm sure that 1 day u vegans will advice us to eat rocks & stones
Avg. life expectancy says that i would last for abt 65 years, that is not quite a long time. And i want to enjoy it to the core, not ruin it by eating grass.
