"No religion teaches violence or intolerance"

"No religion teaches violence or intolerance."

"All religions teach acceptance, forbearance and forgiveness."

Such statements, oft-repeated by generally well-intentioned people, are plain false.

Christianity

(for just two examples)

"If thy brother ... or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods ... Thou shalt not consent unto him ... neither shall thine eye pity him ... But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people." (Deuteronomy 13:6-10)

If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.(Leviticus 20:13)

Hinduism

"Considering your specific duty as a kshatriya, you should know that there is no better engagement for you than fighting on religious principles; and so there is no need for hesitation." (Bhagvad Gita, 2.31)

"O Partha, happy are the kshatriyas to whom such fighting opportunities come unsought, opening for them the doors of the heavenly planets." (2.32)

Sikhism

Choon kar az hama hilte daar guzast
Halaal ast burden ba shamshir dast (Zafarnama)

(When all avenues have been explored, all means tried, it is right to draw the sword out of the scabbard and wield it with your hand)

And Section 13 of the Sukhmani Sahib describes a great deal of pain and hellfire that the slanderer of a saint will have to endure.

"O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors: They are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust." (Quran 5.51)
