I don't believe that any religon teaches violence. the only thing that teaches violence is violence its self!
some violent people use religon as an excus to justify there behavior some may even dilude themselves into thinking that they are not violent so when they beleive that they are doing no wrong they see themselves as inocent they are psycotic, and need to studdy there religons more! and most importantly "understand" and learn human morals...
these violent people and "other" violent people may use other excuses to justify there violent behavior not just religon..for example politics ana palamilitry justifys imoral behavior "sometimes"... and school bullies can often find any single excuse..but this is going off the topic!
"Religious people" but not religons can get violent, when "religious" people try to control other people in the world by preaching what they believe to be the right religon, they want everyone else to also follow them, and if no one else believes there opinion then they start to get aggressive!
They have a strong opinion and corage in there belief which is a good thing to have...but it shouldnt get to the point were you want everyone else to also do the same, and if they dont you feel angry and as if you have to preach to them and make them believe what you believe! this is the wrong attitude.
Then you have some other religious people who only want the right to practice there religon, they have lived under opression all there lives and just want freadom to practice there believes. These people do not try to make the world believe what they believe they try to live in peace with other people but they dont have the freadom to practice what they want and get fed up and feel as if they have to defend there rights so they get aggressive.
Then theres another set of people who find that they get influenced by other peoples religons so they blame this on the other religons rather on a weekness within themselves, they find it easier to be violent rather then interact and start to follow the bad influences of the other people, this is very bad!!!!

The way I see it, Islamic fundamentalism is the most violent (not pure Islam mind you but the Bin Ladin types)
It is true that Jews have been violent in the past, Christians have been violent in the past, but that is history, what about right now? India is Hindu, they get along with everyone else, I don't shirk the thought of having a hindu in my airplain when I fly. Unfortunatly I have to second guess myself if I was near a muslim. Does India have problems with it's other neighbors to make it a valid accusation of being "violent"
Israel is actually a peaceful country, till they get attacked. Jews are easy guys to get along with.
I could walk in India, I could walk in Taiwan, China, or any of the Christian base countries of Europe and feel somewhat confident. Right now I would not walk in Saudi Arabia, I would quiver if I were in Egypt, or even Pakistan. Not because of muslims mind you but because of the fanatics that hold it hostage. Unfortunatly I don't really know how to tell the difference so if I find myself shirking I pray so that I won't be so judgemental.
I really don't think this poll is fair either, to be honest. There is a freak in every church and in every center of worship. I don't consider violent Christians real Christians, does anyone else?
