Bomb Throwing

Note: There are different scientific theories for sure, but I don't see classical Newtonian believers throwing bombs at Einsteinians :-)

You're correct. Nor do you see Church of England members hurling bombs at Methodists, or for that matter Christians and Hindus crossing swords anywhere. Buddhists and Taoist get along just fine, despite deep disagreements in faith and doctrine.

Truth is, there's only one major religion that has an established doctrine of violence towards others, and that's Islam. Sure, Christianity had its period of institutional violence back during the Crusades and the Inquisition. But that was never supported by the faith's core doctrines, and beside, the Church has more or less officially denounced both. Where individuals carry the Christian banner towards violence they are roundly condemned by the rest of Christiandom.

The painful truth is when we speak of physical violence in the name of religion, only one major faith appears to have a core principle based on it. And that one major faith is Islam.

(The usual retort I hear is "What about Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland?" Two points: one, I challenge anyone to find an official and generally respected representative of either denomination that endorsed violence in the name of their faith. Two, there are a lot of "Protestants" and "Catholics" who carry the name but not really the faith. In other words, they are largely faithless individuals who think that going through meaningless rituals is what God wants from them. I wish someone of prominence in the Islamic faith would denounce violence. But alas there are none. Violence is at the core of that "religion.")
