I fear that such an appeal preaches rather towards the choir though: religion can certainly be tolerant, indeed most religions are, but monotheisms are not tolerant at their textual basis, they were not origonally doctrinally peaceful (that is to outsiders, peace and unity are normally sought within faiths). Their clergy or trend may be inclined towards peace, but with the fear of the truth that any idea can (understandably because we are dealing with "faith") be taken at some point to its logical extreme comes a realization that these monotheisms cannot eliminate violence without eliminating themselves. It is a worrying fact and one of my most heart-felt comdemnations of religion, a comdemnation of fear and realization of the immorality of it all.
