I can guarantee the Torah was not a book that spoke of peace, unless there's some big difference between what the Jews learn and what the first 2/3 of the bible is. Jesus did try to teach peace and tolerance, though he said some non peaceful things too.

Poe's Law: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.
