Hindu philosopher, S Radhakrishnan (1888–1975), described Judaism, Christianity and Islam as religions of intolerance and persecution because of monotheism, the belief in one God. Here is his observation:
"The intolerance of narrow monotheism is written in letters of blood across the history of man from the time when first the tribes of Israel burst into the land of Canaan. The worshippers of the one jealous God are egged on to aggressive wars against people of alien cults. They invoke divine sanction for the cruelties inflicted on the conquered. The spirit of old Israel is inherited by Christianity and Islam."
