Each faith pronounces adherence to the Death Penalty. Are Christians, Jews and Muslims different? No they are the same underneath, same roots same laws, same same. None are knowing or have compassion, none understand the true light the truth or have the understanding necessary.
   Show me a list of Christians and Jews killing because other religions offend them.  Here is my list of a few religiously motivated attacks on innocents.

 
2013.02.11 (Mosul, Iraq) - A Shahid suicide bomber takes out eight Iraqis, including a 7-year-old boy.
2013.02.11 (al-Shadada, Syria) - Two al-Nusra suicide bombings leave fourteen people dead.
2013.02.10 (Orangi, Pakistan) - A Shia father and son are murdered by Sipah-e-Sahaba gunmen.
2013.02.10 (Yala, Thailand) - Islamic militants overturn a truck with a bomb, then shoot five survivors to death.
2013.02.08 (Aleppo, Syria) - Nine people, including women, children and a cleric are reportedly killed by a Sunni rocket attack on a Shiite mosque.
2013.02.08 (Nad Ali, Afghanistan) - Two women are among six member of a family torn to shreds by an Islamic bomb

The Crusades come to mind, as does the Spanish Inquisition and some responses to the Protestant Reformation.

More recently, mobocracy against Mormons in Missouri and Illinois, and sectarian violence in Northern Ireland.
