What difference is there between the beliefs of the Christian Right, the Israel lobby, and the gang of terrorists run by Osama bin Laden. They all basically have the same beliefs. That is, they all believe in waging a "holy" war, whether it be a Crusade or a Jihad.
I recognize that genuine Christianity, Judaism, and Islam all teach to treat other people with respect and do not support these crazy beliefs. However, why is it that we have people promoting war under the guise of religion?
What difference is there between the Christian Right and their promotion of a Crusade against Muslims and the supporters of Osama bin Laden who promotes a Jihad against Jews and Christians? Why do people use religion as a cover for their own hateful beliefs so frequently? Why don't more people realize that Jesus is the Prince of Peace and that true Islam promotes tolerance for other religions? Why do so many people engage in hate-mongering?
