I happen to know some radical fundamentalist muslims. This may surprise you, but they desperately want peace. I don't know any vikings, considering they haven't existed for centuries and no longer have any bearing on the world. I think you catch my drift.
If a religion like that existed, then we could argue based on interpretation of scripture. Fortunately for me and every one else, no such religion exists.
No one believes in Norse mythology anymore, and 72 virgins isn't located anywhere in the Qu'ran. It's hate-filled garbage that simply represents something else, it's foundation, like a wish to force western militaries out of the Middle East by militaristic means.

I know fundamentalist Christians who feel that faggots should be killed. So what? There are fundamentalist islamics who do want to war? Yes? Or No? Abu Sayaaf for 2 maybe 3 decades waging war in Mindanao Philippines.

war happens because special interests prevail...I see it no differently than in this example

Exactly.
And most if not all of those special interests can be rooted into this vaguery of human nature.
So again, if the logic is that it is as simple as waving your hand to create a solution to end all wars, I still state, Ice Cream.
Everyone loves Ice Cream. But see, no not everyone does. See the Milk Intolerants, they don't like it because they can't share in the joy of Ice Cream. Then there are the Vanillas, they only like Plain Vanilla flavor as that is the rigteous Ice Cream and they don't like the ones that like the Chocolate Ice Cream eaters. Woah unto the world those mestizos of mixed Ice Cream eaters, the Neopalitans, they mix the Vanilla with the Chocolate and the Strawberry.
So, you remove this, game of the humanity. So we all have to think like will and rb in the ideology that war is not sometimes based on the simplest motivator human drive and emotion of "I want your stuff and I don't want to share."
