The god of Abraham of Hebrews and Christians and Islam, ARE the same monster. This god is the absolute lawgiver and those outside that tribe are at best, if to be left alone, are subject to sit at the back of the bus and use separate bathrooms. Unfortunately it is far worse. It is why Sunnis and Shiites kill each other. It is why Catholics and Protestants are still under an uneasy truce in Ireland. It is why Liberal Baptists and Conservative Baptists don't get along politically.
I am sick of liberals, being one myself, dodging this issue with terms like "race" or "ethnic" or "culture" or "nationality" when it is religion causing human division. NO you cannot rid the world of it by use of war. But humans suck at minimizing conflict because they ignore the cause. STOP giving ANY of these religions a fucking excuse. If they all claim to want peace then it is up to them to fucking prove it. But the one thing in the west that WILL NOT HAPPEN is peace through the submission of others. In the west peace is kept through common law, not religious pecking orders.
