    Any religion can turn into a "powerful objector" and that just depends on the moment in history.
    Plenty of Christians would be happy if "somebody" went down to "where powerful objectors live" and killed all "powerful objectors." They'd even volunteer for that. The spirits of Christian Crusades and "powerful objector's" Jihad are still alive (unfortunately).
    You can use quotes from any religion to rile uneducated poor masses into a "holy" war. All it takes is the right kind of marketing.

    True but with most religions the quotes have to be taken out of context and then be twisted to reach that end. Other religions where founded on a perversion in the first place so this has already been done.

    There's a streak of vengefulness in Christianity that's big enough to accomodate any attrocities a human being can commit to another. However, we're veering off topic since this is more about the compatibility of laws and human morality.
