Guys, I agree absolutely. What I was suggesting is that, all too often, allegiance to God/god/gods, throughout time immemorial, has been a convenient excuse for the murder of one human by another. Look at the infamous Inquisition. One might argue that the medieval Catholic Church, in the name of God, caused more human misery than the World Wars, Elvis Presley, and Britney Spears combined! Yes, I do agree with you. But religion, in addition to selfish territoriality, is almost always at the root of war.
Yes... Egypt today, as I read my morning paper.
But as I said... this is learned behavior. A Palestinian and a Jew, for instance, raised together as neighbors in the absence of the negative influence of their bumbling, blind elders, would have no impetus to wipe one another from the planet. It's the children that can fix it, if they are reached soon enough, and in sufficient numbers.
So, yes, I hear you and agree wholly. But let's not forget that the perpetrators of these terrorist attacks are, by their own proclamation, waging a "holy war" in the name of their deity - not against Westerners exclusively, but against anyone who will not submit to their perverse will - while the only thing supreme about their efforts seems to be the needless loss of human life, and the load of crap they use to justify it. And this has been going on, in its purest form, for longer than any of us can imagine. There's always a "holy war" against somebody, somewhere. Everyone is wrong but the people waging it. They are faultless. They are answerable to no one. They're "special". Everyone who does not sumbit to rape and murder is an "infidel". Yeah, right. Real "special", the lot of them are, indeed.
What they want... ALL they want... is to take us all back to the dark ages, where they can control, steal, rape, murder... in the name of their self-proclaimed status as "holy warriors". We know different. I mean, what the hell kind of life is that?
