How come believers of Islam are prone to war?

Question

Why make war holy?

Answer 1

Believers of Islam are not prone to war, as Islam is also a peace loving religion just like Christianity, Buddhism and Hinduism. The bad perception of believers of Islam are prone to war is probably because of the misconception of the term jihad and all these terrorist acts involving the Islamic extremists. Jihad means a personal struggle against something such as self demon or enemy. The term is not advocating violence. As for all the terrorist acts involving Islamic believers, i can only say that they have been mislead by people with bad motives such as Al-Qaeda. The unfairness of the US policy towards Palestine issues and poverty among other things drive them towards the arm of extremists who promised better afterlife to them. War is never holy despite claims by Christians during the Crusades and the Islamic extremists. They glorify the war to boost morale and to attract people. War is always about getting rewards in terms of territory, money and influence.

Answer 2

A. Humans are prone to making war about most anything
B. Making a war holy: Religious beliefs form the core a any person's value system. Values and beliefs will ALWAYS be fiercely defended, no matter who you are.

You are making a mistake to judge all people of the Islamic faith based on what a few extremists do.

Answer 3

Firstly, "they", nor anyone else, don't consider or "make" war 'holy'... religious wars are called holy wars, is all.

Secondly, christians are guilty of as many, if not more, wars than any other religious group...

No religion has a "proneness" to warring... it's merely the most self-righteous, intolerant of other belief systems kind of people who express the most hatred in many different forms-- unfortunately, it too often explodes into a war. Kinda like kids in the playground... "My ol' man can beat the snot outa YOUR ol' man!" and other stuff kids like to find to put their playmates down... "Yo mama...

Answer 4

Given recent history I think that a lot of Muslims might be asking why Americans are prone to war.

Answer 5

Its what they are taught by the politically motivated religious leaders. They are given the interpretation of their religion by the political mullahs who use religion to their advantage. That is the reason why Islam has become a religion of terror.
No religion teaches hatred. Tolerance is the essence of all religion and Islam teaches the same.
I wish the mulims would wake up to the fact someday, but that wudn't happen till the world recognises them as humans. So, its vicious circle there......
