Religions have always some justification to some form of cruelty. And that is why it makes chunk of religious people unreasonable and little stupid to argue.
@Nimmy: [Much respect] Deep stuff. On the question of religion - can say for Christianity, we are clearly instructed not to take revenge, but to leave that for the righteous anger of God. as for cruelty and religion: its used as a crutch to serve vested interests [remember the wise words of Mr. Khan, in "My name is Khan"]
Vivek: Thanks so much. Kind of you! Hmm...forgiveness is a quality promoted in many religious scriptures. I do not remember the dialogue in Mr.Khan...watched it amongst many distractions...will try catching up with that again.

As Yayveer said, when the cruel one believes he/she has a greater reason for his/her cruel behavior, thats when they become really dangerous.
Himanshu: Yup....ideologies that hold us prisoners.... :-(
Raj: That's what I hear is called an ideology or perhaps blind faith.
