Racism amongst religion is as long as history, and anti-antisemitism amongst Catholics, Christians and Muslims is to this day evident.
Nazi Germany was a Christian/Catholic nation which supported, not surprisingly a theocratic type following of a leader 'sent from God' and the ground work was done by people of faith, the ground work of extermination.
You can't pretend that all bad things happen because of extremism in religion, even if the moderates aren't actively participating; they are not openly and aggressively fighting against that behavior.
