Humans love to draw lines and treat each other as a separate species, but the truth is, no matter where we are from, what political labels, religious labels or economic ideology we hold, we have never been a separate species.
I think the world needs more museums like that of the Holocaust Museum in D.C. NO, not to play favorites to any label, but a global museum to all human cruelty as a lesson as to what not to do to our fellow humans.
We need to teach things like the horrible institution of slavery, the genocide of Native Americans. But also the Colonial brutality of Britain on India. The tribal religious brutality between Christians and Muslims in Africa. The brutality of Jews on Palestine. The brutality of monsters like Po Pot.
None of thee above is singling out one religion.
I went to a Japanese History Museum in Yokohama, and it depicted their conflicts from the middle ages up through this century. It showed the brutality of war in it's conflicts with other Asian countries but especially China. China, I am quite sure they'd paint a different picture in their Museums.
I know my fellow humans are extremely capable of great compassion, but unfortunately we dont widely enough see the long term global picture.
We need more peace, not more war. We need more diplomacy not more nukes.
