I dont think I would be erroneous in stating that probably every religion on earth have fought at some point in time to death in the name of the religion. Crusades, Israel, India/Kashmir/Afgahnistan/, Laos, Thailand, I mean,,,all over the planet people are being killed due to religious issues.
The issue is not the religion usually, but the manipulation of the blind faith followers who are easily herded. People loose their more compassionate and logical self when grouped in big numbers and then riled up by their leaders...and in the end, its all about a power play by the people on top, and not about us guys/gals trying to live day by day driving our beloved Contours...
