In this divided world which we find ourselves experiencing at the time, we need to find ways of bringing people together, not widening the divide through the perpetuation of misunderstanding, especially when they come from sources which are taken as authoritative.

Thanks for the lively discussion so far! No, I don't feel that this is a resolved question...I put 'right' in quotes for a reason...only humans define right versus wrong...no other species on Earth does, nor does God... Our existence is mutual; we have the ability to create our situation any way that we conceive of it. However, in the quest for 'peace and understanding', most religions strive to define for their believers what right and wrong mean and how to deal with non-believers! I'm looking forward to more discussion along these lines...:)

I think right and wrong are completely human idea's. I do not believe that "God" or the "Absolute" has any view on "right or wrong". There is only what is and what is not. Most still do not want to attempt to understand the concept of the oneness of humanity. They just are not ready, so they continue to seperate us, and war with each other. Some might say, perhaps that those who still strive for seperation among humanity, still do not understand that which exists beyond this concept of "God". That which is beyond God is not seperate from us, I believe the whole concept of what "God" is was completely created by humanity. What God or that which is beyond God is..well that is far beyond words, and completely at one with what and who we are. Some just do not see it or can not..or are afraid to see it. Thats okay that is just where they are.

The world has been created or existing since its inception with differences between species. Not all have been created equal, clear example is the animal kingdom. Survival of the fittest was the order of the day. However man endowed with the sixth sense has to behave better and civilised. He has to live and let live others. Passion, lust and desire makes man to take to animal behaviour of killing, inflicting misseries unparallel and may go to an extent of feeling that other people have no right to exist.

I happen to be one of those people who believe that some people should have never been born; however, the people that I am speaking of are those who are so stupid and do stupid things and ask stupid questions that they already know the answer to. For example, I sewed a cell phone caddy for myself, stitched my name on it and was carrying it around, when someone I know asked me if I had made it! Duh! Here's your sign! But as for the bigotry and racist belief that there are some people out there who do not deserve the right to live, that is just wrong!

No creature has the 'right' to "exist". All creatures have been created by whoever decided to make them exist - to us humans, it is God. What you do 'after' you have been decided by the creator to exist, is to 'survive'. So, let's not argue about the right to exist.
I consider my answer adequate to your question and if you agree to this understanding, you can consider your current question resolved. If you wish, however, to discuss the right to 'survive' or 'live', submit another question and I will reply to you accordingly.

The terrorist want you to believe in their god or die. Your God is not the same as their god.
The "right" to exist is something you got from your God.

you r right we all created by GOD. but as soon as u say that there arises a possibility that as GOD is there then there must be EVILS and that's your answer, that some people are like EVILS.

because God is not religion - religion is man made and is so full of control issues that all others must be wrong and therefore worthy of death?

well God gave us all the tools to survive - basically the same tools - but then depends on each of us how we use them.
