Not in the big picture. A lot of people will probably cite the old testament because of all the times God sent Isreal in to slaughter other nations. But the Bible is incomplete without the new testament. Jesus never incited violence. He stopped the religious leaders from stoning a woman caught in adultery, which was the law laid down by God given to Moses.
Jesus taught love. Yes, he said "I don't come to bring peace, but the sword." But with a full reading you know that the Sword is the word of God. Bringing the word to people doesn't usually bring peace, at least not initially. Humans don't like being told they are wrong. But I think He is saying He knows that His word will cause unrest and even anger. But He never advocates physical violence on another human.

Hardly.
Just as a gun, baseball bat, or knife.
There has to be a human wielding it.
I am not associating Christianity with these violent objects;
a person decides if they want to use any object for their purpose, be it good or bad.
The Constitution of the USA says people have the right to bear arms, and I have not heard an argument stating the Constitution is responsible for murders committed with guns.
So Christianity as itself cannot incite violence.

Christianity itself doesn't incite much of anything, but it can certainly be used to incite violent behaviour. Throughout history leaders have used Christianity, and other religions, to send people to war or to justify murder.
It isn't that Christianity itself promotes violence, but so vague is its nature that it can be twisted to promote almost anything.

No. But lack of acceptance of a Christian or by a Christian can.
Christianity is following Jesus (Christ) and results in the fruits of the spirit; love, joy, PEACE, patience , kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control.

Jonny-5,
No. we have a God that can take care of things quite well, and has done so upon occasion. It's His to do with after all!

In theory, no, because Jesus forbade them to do so. But in practice, they not only refuse to turn the other cheek; they initiate the slapping of cheeks.

It has between the Protestants and Catholics. Just look at Northern Ireland in the last ten years.
