rejected.content: Some religious texts condone and even advocate for violence in the pursuit of spiritual goals. While these passages are often interpreted as metaphorical, they still leave room for an violent interpretation. Furthermore, there have been historical examples of religious leaders using their influence to incite violence and aggression. Additionally, religiously-motivated terrorist groups have used religious fundamentalism to further their violent aims. Ultimately, it is a combination of texts, history and modern day practices which can contribute to certain religious groups being perceived as violent.
