War!

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace." Jagad Guru: "Hatred and conflict are often rooted in differences between people of different races and religions. We all need to respect people of different races as well as people of different faiths and religions. We need to unite by recognizing our common desire and need for a harmonious society -- a society in which we and our children and families and friends and communities can all live our lives in peace and harmony. Regardless of our race or religion, we all want and need such social harmony."

The Crusades were a series of military campaigns during the time of Medieval england against the Muslims of the Middle East. In 1076, the Muslims had captured Jerusalem - the most holy of holy places for Christians. Jesus Was born in nearby Bethlehem and Jesus had spent of his time there.. He was crucified on Calvary Hill, also in Jerusalem. There was no more important place on Earth than Jerusalem for a true Christian which is why Christians called Jerusalem the City of god. And some were won by the Chrisitans other's were won by the muslims.. Was This war causes by religon? The main reason of the Crusades happening was the Pillgramige of the muslims. That was a religious Event. the controlling of judeslim was a religious event. So in all ways this was a war caused because of religion.



Crisis in the middle east <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> The crisis in the middle east is a very contraversal topic now. The NATO Presence there has made the lives of people there better, but the question is why did they come in the first place?. Dictators, Terrorist orginazations, bad living conditions, or religion. Did religion cause the war? Did religon tell the people to rebel against the invading forces such as NATO or the United States? Or was it only self defense?

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">"You shall destroy all the peoples ... showing them no pity." (7: 16) <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> "... All the people present there shall serve you as forced labour." <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> (20:12) <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> "... You shall put all its males to the sword. You may, however, take as your booty the women, the children, the livestock, and everything in the town -- all its spoil -- and enjoy the use of the spoil of your enemy which the LORD your God gives you." (20:14-15) <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> "... You shall not let a soul remain alive." (20:17) <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> All these quotations are from the part of the Old Testament called the Torah (Deuteronomy), a scripture that is holy to both Jews and Christians. <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> But very few people would sanely suggest that the Torah sanctions violence. The reason of course is that these verses and others much like them are subject to various interpretation and contextual assumptions. "

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> From this it is VERY convincing that the Koran does incourages violence against newcomers and invading forces. <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">But i will take it from personal experince that the Koran does not incourage violence at all. <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">There is a difference between violence and self defense, and the Koran incourages more selfdefense then just pure killing.

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> Frenchwars <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> There were many events that lead up to war, that were "caused" by religion <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Such as

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">All of there wars were many Roman Catholics and protestnats. Protestants about religion. And how the church's try to change there religions and trying to push something on them that wasn't Right. Even a massacre happened accidental deaths as well. All of these were caused by religion. But religion did not start all this. It was the corrupt leaders of France. And the politic's that made the french people revolt, connecting to NATO presence in the middle east. And the reason of all that was of the politics not religion. A lot of the war's were about revolting and not about pure religious causes like we've seen in other wars but about in different ways.

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> What the people think. <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">"Religion is not the only cause of war, but it is one of the major causes. Ever since religion was invented, various groups have asserted that their god was the true god, or was more powerful than other groups’ gods. Of course, they were usually forced to back up those claims, and many times they have, by going to war. Rabbi Tzvi Freeman asked if there was a person without religion. I can’t speak for others, but I truly am. I do not follow anyone’s lead. I live my own life and make my own decisions. Except during my childhood when I was forced by my parents to attend church, I have never been a member of any group or subscribed to any philosophy other than my own. I did serve in the military, but even there, I was a major pain because I refused to blindly follow orders. My heroes are all people who follow their own path. Does this make me immoral? I don’t steal from others. I don’t kill, although I have been trained to do so. I live my life and let others live theirs." <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Anonymous

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">"In my belief it is a person's personal beliefs that causes wars not particular religion, though people blame the religion not the person. For instance take the current war, the War on Terrorism, many in the U.S want to take all the muslims and put them in jail, just because they believe the same as a few fanatics. If people take a look at the quran (the muslim holy book) they would plainly see that it teaches peace, love, and understanding, not blow up all americans. So what makes them hate us so much? Their current fanatic leaders. And in response to previous comments about women having total control, and men are just a bunch of hot heads. For one that's sexist and two we should all rule equally, white, blacks, women, men, and hispanic. and FYI queen elizabeth of england caused plenty of wars against spain and other european countries when she was in charge so don't go saying men are more violent than women, if women had the chance that men had we would have the same bloody history. " <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Anonymous <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"> My final verdict.

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">Religion is NOT the cause of war. But a major reason. To be honest this is a political view on the matter. How CNN show's it too the world. How the United States show's it. Religion does not cause war. Religion is a one of the issue in the world today. The bigger question id why are we thinking this? Shouldn't religion be something a person belief's in something that give someone hope, Something to can give someone drive to do great thing's or give someone drive to feed there family. Through out the years we have seen thing's on TV about the wars and bombing's, terrorists planning bombing's or suicide bombers shouting "For god" before they die. TV has manipulated the world into thinking that religion causes these wars. When it's people's greed and and power that make these war's happen.

Religion is something that can make you smile. Give you hope, give you something to laugh about and give you something to work for. Or it can be something that causes war. The was in the middle east, can be an example. Or when when suicide bombers shout god when they are about to die. But ultimately Religion is what the people make it. Religion can be seen on TV like CNN or FoxNew's it can be good. Like they show it in the middle east. OR it can be great. Those great images of people praying turning to religion when's there's no one else to turn to for help. It makes people smile, or just have hope. In other places religion is just a false thing that get's people happy. It's like when you're skitsofrantic ad you have you're on way of reality that makes thing's seem better when there not. OR maybe a political plan too make people think that there safe and there is a "higher" power out there that will make everything better in the end.
