You're kidding, right? ALL religions, except for a tiny, tiny minority teach that their followers are superior to all others. And that attitude always leads to conflict.
Think about it: For the most part, Jews don't think that Christians will 'walk with God' because the Christians don't follow the Mosaic Law. Christians think that Jews, Protestants, Muslims and others will be go to Hell because they haven't accepted Jesus & the Church, so they are full of sin. Protetstants think that they can go to Heaven based on either pure faith or good deeds or both, but do not respect the Catholic Church or anyone else. LDS is a way out there. Muslims have so many quotations in the Koran that are contradictory that you could pick out a 100 verses that say killing non-Muslims is a way of honoring God. I could go on and on and on.

It would bring conflict and anger. Not that it should, but the 'superior race' thing was supposed to go out a long time ago.

it will sure bring peace and it is not being Superior to other ,it is about accepting others regardless of our religion, besides Muslims are not ordered by god to fight and kill non Muslims and those verses in the holly Quran is talking about who starts the attacks and want take the peace out of our lives or want us to change our believes and religion , so being on conflict or on peace is a part of culture not a part of religion only

Well, by track record, most religions teach this and most of the time, this teaching brings about conflict.

I'm not sure whether or not you're saying that Christianity, in being exclusive, teaches that Christians are superior to all other people. I know that many believe that that is the case but it's not the truth.
In Christianity, exclusive means that the doctrine of Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation. It is not one of all of the many paths that people follow, it is the one way that leads to the Father in heaven.
Christianity teaches that we are to esteem others above our self. Jesus Christ shed his blood on the cross for sin, and that was because of our sin, not because we have anything to boast about.

Teaching superiority would definitely bring conflict.....however, preaching humbleness along with consistent morals would not

No. Unfortunately, many people believe that their religion makes them superior to others, even though their doctrine may not support that theory.

Christianity teaches people to be humble, whether they want to be or not.
