Violence tends to also be relative to politics.
You should read Karen Armstrong's "Fields of Blood."

"The context for the discussion was about tolerance, not violence"
Doesn't systemic violence against a targeted group, imply a lack of tolerance towards that group?
Spence, most Muslim nations are absolutely barbaric in their treatment of women, homosexuals, Jews, Christians, and drug addicts. Those are all groups that liberals sure claim to care a lof about (except Christians, of course, but we'll save that for later).
"When you look a the religions over time I don't think any one can claim the violence title either"
When you look at the last 100 years, I think there is a very, very clear winner in the "religious violence reality show challenge".
Do you really deny that? Honestly?
