fullauto said:Personal gain, power and greed is exactly what some religions offer in exchange for horrific acts... I hate to harp on Islam, but it is the most obvious example...
If you kill yourself in the act of killing infidels, you are a martyr and go directly to heaven where you are surrounded by virgins....
that is just one example, and I'm sure there are a lot more that entail other religions, but that one is just so blatant!
I'm not saying that the problem would go away if religion disappeared, but it certainly is not helping...
My God,do you people ever actually listen?
You got it all wrong.Islam does not say go around killing an ''Infidel'' and you'll go straight to heaven.You have to have a much better reason to take any life or to fight against people.Murder,is the perfect reason.
Muslims can only fight if they are fought against or if they are driven away from their homes.
''Allah does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion nor drove you out of your homes.Verily Allah loves those who deal with equity.''
It is only as regards those who fought against you on account of religion,and have driven you out of your homes,and helped to drive you out,that Allah forbids you to befriend them.And whosoever will befriend them,then such are the Zalimun(wrong-doers).''

Blaming a religion makes it too easy for people to deviate from their own mistakes.Yeah we might tell ourselves that people are fighting cos of religion,but it only makes us stop looking deeper and find the root cause of wars.
It's all about power.Everyone wants more for themselves and will go to any lengths to get it.
Can you deny this fact Fullo??
