&gt; <i>no book of religion pushes people to grab a knife or a gun to harm others</i><p>Yes they do.  From the old testament (Deuteronomy 13, 6-13) <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;biblehub.com&#x2F;deuteronomy&#x2F;13.htm" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;biblehub.com&#x2F;deuteronomy&#x2F;13.htm</a><p>---<p><i>If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son or your daughter or the wife you embrace or your friend who is as your own soul entices you secretly, saying, ‘Let us go and serve other gods,’ which neither you nor your fathers have known,</i><p><i>some of the gods of the peoples who are around you, whether near you or far off from you, from the one end of the earth to the other,</i><p><i>you shall not yield to him or listen to him, nor shall your eye pity him, nor shall you spare him, nor shall you conceal him.</i><p><i>But you shall kill him. Your hand shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people.</i><p>---<p>Of course, no sane priest or rabbi would ever endorse such words <i>today</i>.  Nevertheless, they are written there for all to see and misapply.<p>Granted, I have taken the quote out of context.  But so do religious fanatics.
