Well, apart from the exact quote I would certainly say that reading Joshua can give people all sorts of ideas. The God of Joshua is a rather nasty, bloodthirsty type. If you ask me.
Joshua, Judges, Samuel, etc., all full of nasty stuff, no denying it. And all of it centered on one piece of territory - tribal wars. There was no call from the Almighty to do this kinda stuff anywhere but in Canaan.
