Destruction in the name of religion

Religion is supposed to be a catalyst for change within a human being.  It is supposed to be a road to enlightenment or a set of guidelines to make yourself and the world a better place.  But all-too-often, religion becomes nothing more than a destructive tool that leaves a bloody and ruined path in its wake.

The religion that gets all the headlines today for being the most destructive is that of Islam, but the others have had their time in the spotlight as purveyors of chaos.  Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism and all the others have at one time or another decided that everything that did not relate to their beliefs was fair game to be taken apart, by force if necessary, and replaced with their own symbols.
