sorry to break it to ya, but human nature by default is violent..religious, secular or otherwise...its not just the fundo's that condone it.. of course u have the neo cons shedding blood in the name of democracy (or is that in the name of bushes version of christianity)... then you have had up until recently lynching of black men for nothing but their colour, of course then u have state sanctioned executions in US states, you have death penalties is democratic muslim countries for drug trafficking..its endless. i just dont see why its religion that cops it... we all have a tendancy to be violent whether we like to admit it or not.


and no the basis of the islamic relgion is not based on ridding the populace of 'infidels'. the islamic renaisance came when islamic philosophy, history, mathematics, science were at the forefront of human civilisation..and at a time when muslims and jews lived in relative harmony and worked in unison. its well known that the jews flourished under islamic rule in Andulusia, right up until the Spanish Inquisition.. so to say that islamic religion is based to rid the world of heathens in incorrect. to say the islamic world would want salvation for human kind by wanting everyone to be muslim is something else..and all other religions share this ideal that they wish for a human race of their own religion..but then, wheres the fun in that?

oh btw, most wars are not started because of religion..its flared by politics and land..religion gets brought into the picture later.. look at all the conflicts in the muslim world..
iraq, afghanisan vs russia, iran vs iraq in the 80's, chechnya, bosnia list goes on.. yes, theres one common denominator, its POLITICS.. religion is used to incite the masses after the fact...which leads me to my initial point..human nature is violent in its essance..religous or secular..there is no difference
