I hate when people associate small groups of people with entire religions.
Religion isn't bad. It's just that some people who practice them may be. Small groups of Islamic terrorists (referring to terrorist groups today) or a Spanish king (referring to the Spanish Inquisition -though I'm not too bright on the subject, I believe it was through the actions of a king, not the Church itself). If studied in depth enough and with an open mind, all religions promote peace and unity. If you're looking for quotes to promote rascism, sexism, jihad, or violence, then you could definitely find them. Too bad they don't read in depth enough to find out that they take quotes out of context- or later passages negate those quotes entirely (i.e.- in the case of Jesus telling the Apostles to forget the old laws and codes). If you have a specific agenda, and you want religion to support it, it won't be hard to do. The hardest part is actually reading and understanding everything that it says.
