Evil has no birthplace, it has always existed in all people. Evil was there long before 'The West' or 'Middle East' were things. Religions don't cause evil or intolerance, but some religions can be easily used to justify stoning gay people to death, or killing women for daring to be independant. If the bible didn't command that gay people be murdered, or if Islam didn't command that apostates be slain, it would be much harder to justify these evil acts. This isn't a problem of religion, it's a problem of cultures that take their religion too seriously.
