There is certainly a lot of war that comes from religion, but if you're implying that it's Christians against Moslems I disagree. The radical extremist Moslems that are convinced of this do not represent a majority. There are plenty of Moslems who are as much against terrorism as anybody is.
Jewish-Islamic war that troubling the Middle East in Palestine. There are few on and
off ones in Africa, between Christians and Muslims, as well as other minor religions.
The conflict is still in the Chechen, but not as much mentioned now as its not a
media sell out it once used to be.
I agree with the view that many Muslims condemn terrorisms, but I also feel the
prejudice is still there. As soon as some bomb goes off somewhere, people’s first
thoughts are; They must be Muslims. There is this misconception in the Western
World that all Muslims are “Terrorists”, “Extremists” and “Fundamentalists”.
This by itself can be considered as Cold War.

armed with ak47's attacked police stations all over this town in
Russia, all on a hari-kari mission to take as many Christians out
as possible.
This seems to me to be the Crusades chapter 7.

Since these extremist guys want to kill everybody who doesn't believe the way they do (kinda like Hitler), it's safe to say most of the world fights them as they should.
I still don't believe that these extremists represent all of Islam though.

That's four words 😛

want war.
Originally posted by sonhouseSuch aggression is against Islamic Law. I personally condemn this act, and don’t consider it part of Islam, or the message that Islam brings. There is a very well known verse in the Quran that roughly translate: “There is no force in religion”. We respect Christianity and Judaism and shouldn’t be raging a war against our brothers of the Book.

Such act only pollutes the name of Islam and all its peaceful message.
Originally posted by PeachyYes, I agree with Peachy. There is a very good web site that explains it.

"Spreading Peace
is the core of the Islamic Call
There is a common stereotype that dominates the minds of some Muslims and Non-Muslims alike where they think that Islam calls for wars with those who do not hold the Islamic beliefs. Reading the base principles of Islam with relation to the struggle that Muhammad (PBUH) and his followers had to go through in order to spread peace, reveals the fallacy of that notion."
Sonhouse in not wrong that there are clerics and such that use Islam to brainwash people into war, but I don't believe that this is the message of Islam. I also believe that the majority of Muslims know better.

Originally posted by PeachyOk, thanks. Haven't heard that one before. 🙂
Thank you for that site, brings the topic into conclusion.
"And which pot is calling which kettle black" means that pots and kettles are alike,
both burnt black, both in the same boat. One can't attack the other for both have the
same defect.
