It seems like only the Jews are really even capable of decently respecting other cultures. I know Israel, the country, is embattled, but as a religion, Judaism has never come close to the atrocities of Christianity and Islam.
(On the other hand, the Mormons are pretty decent too, and they are, more or less, the most recent evolution.)

Judaism has never come close to atrocities?
where have you been in the last 30 years?
what do you call the whole situation in Palestine. Palestine is obviously incapable of defending themselves with proper weapons. Israel on the other hand are the ones who are the terrorizes...and if you have actually been there then you will surely agree with me. My best friend, who is Jewish agrees with me. She is ashamed to be from Israel because of what they are doing to the Palestinians....yest no one knows about it. And all this terror is going on in a holy place which is even worse.
The Abrahamic people keep getting more cruel.
religions don't change (well i don't know about Christianity)
people change.
Example: Muslims were there highest point when Islam first spread. There were so many converts and they treated everyone with respect. I don't care what you say..this is a fact that has been proved and its in any historical book that is accurate. Now, sadly they are at their lowest point. People claim things about the people, which might be true, but in no way does it resemble Islam. The people have changed but the religion has never changed.

Their are other Abrahamic religions like Bahi that are also peaceful.
I tend to find that it has more to do with the theological concept that if you are not with us then you are damned to hell.
This reduces non believes to sub human levels and allows them to be killed easily.
It explains why the two most violent religions (Christianity and Islam) have had the most bloody history between their own sects. How can a Sunni justify killing a Shia or a Catholic killing a Protestant?
they can do so by arguing that they are not true Muslims or Catholics and thus sub human.

They could stand to learn a thing or two from Buddhist spirituality.

I'm not sure they are. I think they are less cruel than they were.
