You shall love your neighbour as yourself.  (Leviticus 19:18)

I will bless them that bless you [Abram], and him that curses you will I curse,
and in you shall all the families of the earth be blessed.  (Genesis 12:3)

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, may they prosper that love you.  (Psalm 122:6)

I agree with you that there are many statements in the bible that ask for
peace and tolerance.  We only ask that the statements of non-tolerance
be erased.

I don't know any decent quotes from the bible (just as I don't know any
decent quotes from Mien Kampf :-)  ), but if you want to see what can be
implied with the 'right' (or far right :-) ) quotes from the bible, just
watch any broadcast by Jimmy Swaggart ( but don't eat for 1 hour before
viewing :-( ).
