Ever since Cain killed Abel (Gen. 4), human history has been a chronicle of war. What began as family or tribal disagreements later developed into conflicts between nations. The conflict between Cain and Abel was motivated by jealousy and contempt, and so have been the agendas of nations throughout history.
Additionally, long-standing ethnic, tribal and religious differences, coupled with boundary disputes and outright aggression to seize the land or property of others, have always served to fuel the next war fought between the same peoples or nations.

Christians think so. They have been doing so throughout history.
With the fall of the Roman Empire, the librarian of Alexandria was pulled off her carriage and skinned alive. Literacy dropped. Even the Pope had to have the Bible read to him. In the first crusade, Christians killed tens of thousands of people they called "infidels". The Children's Crusade (1212) caused the deaths of nearly 50,000 children. Preachers sentenced to death and executed thousands during the Inquisition (1233-1834) for heresy and witchcraft. There were the Salem witch trials (1692) in America. The 17th Century Thirty Years War (Catholics v. protestants) wiped out tens of millions in Europe. In the Taiping Rebellion in China in the 1850's a Christian cult started a war that resulted in the slaughter of twenty million people. In the Holocaust six million Jews were murdered. Muslims and Christians in Bosnia reached a death toll of over 250,000.

Worshipping God is one thing and truly believeing in His teachings/his word/Gospel/Quran etc. is another.
If one is a true believer one cannot kill, ever.Unless in self defense and that as a last resort.
One can keep worshipping God and commiting sins at the same time,that is hypocrisy from where i see it.
To the person above, Quran doesnt tell us to kill non believers, thats a blatant lie. I would advise u to read it first and then comment and please dont spread hatred. Its ignorant ppl like u who promote killings/war/hatred.

Yes, however if you do not follow God's laws then are you reallying worshiping God or just giving lip service?
Love God, Love Others, Love Yourself - if you just try to do that, how can you think about killing another?
