They missed the lesson in elementary school teaching them to use their words when there's a conflict.
It's a shame.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. - Sir Edmund Burke.
The world is a dangerous place. Not because of the evil that is in it, but because of those who refuse to do nothing about it.- Albert Einstein
There are some things worse than war. They all come with losing one.- Printed on a sign outside 7th Special Forces Group in Da Nang, Vietnam.

Yes Jesus is nice and we love him. But I love to read the old testament when God would smite entire cities or peoples, killing them for sinning.
Most religion is good, but its also interpreted my man and rewritten from languages we can't read. So I guess we have to believe the people that translated it. That's probably also why there are so many religions. Most have a similar pretext...there is a superior being or power that created man and we need to respect that and be thankful. But most are also slanted by man to control their given population based on when they were translated. And that is why religions cause fights.

Belief in a fallacy like that will lead you to la la land. Wars are fought for money. Economics, that is why. Anyway, killing someone settles your differences rather swiftly.

It is power they are fighting over. The one that do the actual fighting rarely have the power going in or coming out. Today if you are too powerful you will be perceived as a bullie & no maner how just & humanatarian your cause they masses will rut for the underdog.

There are many people who cannot stand to have others disagree with them.
So, if someone else believes different, that other must be attacked and destroyed.
It's sad that in 5000 years of civilization, we've made almost no progress on learning how to get along with each other.

Some are about differing religions. Some are over oppressing people of different cultures. Others are about ethnic cleansing. While still others are about their corrupt government.

Wars based on similarity are really boring - and the combatants keep forgetting which side they are on.

That's one reason I have no religion. Most religions don't practice what they preach. Most religious people don't really understand their own religion.

allah says to kill in his name. Blow up children in carbombs, behead the infidels, and force women to wear a rag over their head, the holocaust never happened, Israel should be wiped off the face of the earth, western ways are evil and westerners should be converted or killed.
That's the short list. What don't you understand about what's going on. Wake up and smell the jihad.
