the point is you state "official scriptures"
but what makes those scriptures "official"??
what's stopping me , from inventing a religion , and writing a scripture so called through Divine inspiration , and that scripture contains instructions on how to spread the message
for instance, i write that the believers have to roam the planet, and hold a Japanese Katana in front of an unbeliever, and ask them if they want to convert, if not , chops.
there you go , this is my scripture of the holy church of the God of Steel
there, i just busted your dare to find you "a" religion , that has "official" scripture, that teaches converting through violence.
now give me your address, so i can send my disciples
oh ,BTW, I'm the Holy Supreme Priest of my church, you shall address me as your Holiness from now on , even those who are of other faith, simply because if you don't , my disciples will see that insult as a reason to burn down your embassy...
and furthermore, in countries with freedom of religion , it means my disciples can roam free with the Katana's, since stopping them , or imprisoning them would be an invasion of their right to practice their religion...
