A problem all 3 major religions of the book have ... and while sane elements of the 3 religions just interpret their holy book in a way that disregards the bloodthirsty passages of the book, history has shown time and again that there are other groups within the 3 religions that convince believers that exactly the bloodthirsty passages are the ones that have to be followed
(And of course, the 3 religions of the boook aren't alone in this ... the problem is shared by many/most of the other older religions as well)
