Was Ottoman Caliph Abdul Hamid II a peaceful ruler?

From what I've read the answer is no based on his treatment of minorities. But some might define 'peaceful' as not starting wars of aggression.

The weakened Ottoman empire wasn't in a position to go to war... so peaceful is qualified. He chose to persecute those at home. My fricken hero.
