They are all wanting to 'belong' and then prove that their gang is better than all the rest, usually by means of violence. It's all a matter of scale... |

| 1250987 | 2011-12-29 01:19:00 | Yes but as I said what other religions go around killing people ? (nowadays) Irish Protestants and Catholics is about the only non-Muslim one although you could include Tibet - Buddhists & Communists. But there are plenty involving Muslims. Hers your short list: Afghanistan: Radical Fundamentalist Muslim terrorist groups & non- Muslims. Bosnia: Serbian Orthodox Christians, Roman Catholic & Muslims. Cyprus: Christians & Muslims. East Timor: Christians & Muslims. India: Christians, Hindus, Muslims & Sikhs. Indonesia: Christians & Muslims. Iraq: Kurds, Shiite Muslims, Sunni Muslims. Kashmir: Hindus & Muslims. Kosovo: Serbian Orthodox Christians & Muslims Kurdistan: Christians & Muslims. Macedonia: Macedonian Orthodox Christians & Muslims. Middle East: Jews, Muslims, & Christians. Nigeria: Christians & Muslims. Pakistan: Suni & Shi'ite Muslims. Philippines: Christians & Muslims. Russia: Russian Orthodox Christians & Muslims. Somalia: Wahhabi & Sufi Muslims. Sudan: Christians & Muslims. Thailand: Buddhists & Muslims. Uganda: Christians & Muslims. |

| 1250988 | 2011-12-31 00:59:00 | That's a pretty damming list | Digby (677) | ||
| 1250989 | 2011-12-31 03:17:00 | Agreed. Seems to be where ever large quantities of Muslims have developed there is trouble, then again, it maybe where ever Christians have moved in there is trouble. | Iantech (16386) | ||
| 1250990 | 2011-12-31 23:39:00 | My take on this is we should educate everyone to a reasonable standard, so people have a broad understanding of the world and its peoples, science history, etc. so they can look at issues without the propaganda, flim flam and indoctrination getting in the way. Look how much the influence of religion has dropped off in the West over the last 100 years. Given the last couple of years perhaps economics should become a compulsory subject so we see all the BS before the proverbial hits the fan as well ? | PPp (9511) | ||

How lovely to still see evidence of optimists and idealists amongst us.... I used to be an idealist too, and then when I learned too much about human behaviour, I became a cynic, and haven't looked back!! :D | johcar (6283) | ||

Take the BS out of economics and you have got mighty slim pickings. ;) |
