Bingo!!
these wars arent started because of religion - they are started by fucked up, over zealous twats who want to hang a reason on their psychopathy so they play the religion card.
It doesnt say anything in the Koran about murdering / killing but overzealous zealots manipulate others in believing thats the way forward.
Best quote I've heard :
"If your religion is worth killing for, then please start with yourself"
**NB - the Koran reference above used only as an example - im quite aware that just about every other religion has its fucked up followers.
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - strawberries in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming - WOO HOO! What a Ride!"
