I'm with Avenger on that, religion is just an excuse in most cases. The real reasons for violence and intolerance are simply envy and greed.
"Muslims control the Holy Land, we have a few pigs and the Black Death. Let's start a crusade."
"The Jews have money, and we're paying reparations for a war we started. Let's create a final solution."
"American corporations have money and power, we live in squalor. Let's start a holy war."
I could go on...
Different periods, different targets - same attitude.
