I think all religions teach thou shalt not kill when it concerns a person of the same clan. But other people are allowed to be victums of thou shalt overthrow and kill those who don't agree with you.

Let's face it; religion is inherently political because everyone wants to believe that they are right while reality holds no evidence that supports their claim. No one has to fight over that fact that rain falls from the sky or that water is the source of life. Most religions will agree that God is the source of the rain and the wind but as to how to recognize Him/Her remains a subjective matter, and always will.. Once we realize this I think we will have some peace in this world.
