The Great Monotheisms on Tolerance
These really don't need an explanation.
The Bible
Exodus 23:24:“Do not bow down before their gods or worship them or follow their practices. You must demolish them and break their sacred stones to pieces.”
Deuteronomy 8:19:“If you ever forget the LORD your God and follow other gods and worship and bow down to them, I [Moses] testify against you today that you will surely be destroyed.”
Deuteronomy 13:12-15“If you hear it said about one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you to live in that wicked men have arisen among you and have led the people of their town astray, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods” (gods you have not known), then you must inquire, probe and investigate it thoroughly. And if it is true and it has been proved that this detestable thing has been done among you, you must certainly put to the sword all who live in that town. Destroy it completely, both its people and its livestock.”
Exodus 22:20 “Whoever sacrifices to any god other than the LORD must be destroyed.”
Deuteronomy 14:6-10 “If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is of thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. Thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the Lord thy God.”
Deuteronomy 17:2-5 (NIV)“If a man or woman living among you in one of the towns the LORD gives you is found doing evil in the eyes of the LORD your God in violation of his covenant, and contrary to my command has worshiped other gods, bowing down to them or to the sun or the moon or the stars of the sky, and this has been brought to your attention, then you must investigate it thoroughly. If it is true and it has been proved that this detestable thing has been done in Israel, take the man or woman who has done this evil deed to your city gate and stone that person to death.”
Leviticus 24:16“Anyone who blasphemes the name of the LORD must be put to death. The entire assembly must stone him. Whether an alien or native-born, when he blasphemes the Name, he must be put to death.”
2 John 1 10-11“If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.”
2 Corinthians 6:14-15“Believers must not commune with unbelievers. What fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness, light with darkness, believers with infidels?”
The Koran
Excerpt K 2:191[2.191] And kill them wherever you find them….. such is the recompense of the unbelievers.
Excerpt K 5:033[5.33] The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His apostle and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned.
Excerpt K 8:012[8.12]… make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.
Excerpt K 8:055[8.55]Surely the vilest of animals in Allah’s sight are those who disbelieve;
Excerpt K 9:005[9.5]…slay the idolaters wherever you find them…take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush…
Excerpt K 9:012-014[9.12] …fight the leaders of unbelief…[9.13] What! will you not fight a people…[9.14] Fight them, Allah will punish them by your hands and bring them to disgrace, and assist you against them and heal the hearts of a believing people.
Excerpt K 9:029[9.29]Fight those who do not believe in Allah…nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.
Excerpt K 9:038-039[9.38] …Go forth in Allah’s way [to Jihad]… [9.39] If you do not go forth [to go on Jihad], He will chastise you with a painful chastisement and bring in your place a people other than you [to go on Jihad]…
Excerpt K 9:073[9.73]…strive hard [Jihad] against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them…
Excerpt K 47:004[47.4]…when you meet in battle those who disbelieve, then smite the necks until when you have overcome them, then make (them) prisoners, and afterwards either set them free as a favor or let them ransom (themselves) until the war terminates…
Excerpt K 47:035[47.35] Be not fainthearted then; and invite not the infidels to peace when ye have the upper hand: for God is with you, and will not defraud you of the recompense of your works…
Oddly, Muhammad does say:
Excerpt K 2:257[2.257]: Let there be no compulsion in Religion.
No complusion, only death to infidels!
