apostolic inquistion..
NO, wait. That's two words, and only eight syllables, and that took place in the fifteenth century.
Roman Apostolic Catholicism.. nope.. too many syllables, and it's been intolerant of Paganism, and Druidism, and Judaism and Islam, off-and-on-again ever since it started gaining power in the days of the Roman empire that once sought to crush it completely.
SomethingOrSomethingPersecution.

Luvfactory, I think has got it. I was thinking of the the longest word in the English language: antidiestablishmentarianism, which is its opposite, and has 11 syllables.
Disestablishmentarianism was a political movement to separate the established church (the Church of England) from the British state. It doesn't exactly mean "religious intolerance", though.
Actually the equal longest word in English is "flocciaucinhilipilification" which means "the act of estimating as worthless". Both words have 27 letters (I think!)
I'm rambling. I think I'll go to another question.
