Genesis 16:11-13

And the Angel of the LORD said to her:
"Behold, you are with child,
And you shall bear a son.
You shall call his name Ishmael,
Because the LORD has heard your affliction.

He shall be a wild man;
His hand shall be against every man,
And every man's hand against him.

The Lord also advocated violence to conquer the Promised Land, which was possessed by a group of unbelievers. The Crusades were
a violent solution to the Muslim
control of the Holy Land.

But Western religion has developed beyond this and Islam hasn't---but it is false to claim that Islam is the only religion that advocates violence toward unbelievers.
