Not to belabor the point, but you really can do this with just about all of the other religions, not just Islam and Christianity. A few examples:

  1. Jewish Settlers attack Palestinians
  2. Buddhist violence in Sri Lanka
  3. Hindu violence against Muslims
  4. Sikhs, a typically very non-violent religious tradition, are hardly immune

I’m not taking a position on whether or not “all religions” are violent inherently or any such generalization. My point is simply that all religions have violent elements and members, if only because they are human endeavors and humans are (or at least can be) violent.
