How does the charge of heresy "fair" in an environment dictated by the strong? any new opinion that doesn't get approval of the "dogma of priests and the emperor/king" will be "killed and outlawed-butchered".
My position on religious conflict is not built on "religion or even history"; but built on knowledge with the humankind: 2 men that keep arguing will soon explode if the argument is not settled.
"Not settled".
It never will be "settled". Humans like all other life live in competition for resources. The best humans can do is to realize we are not special, and there is no Jesus/Allah/Yahweh/ABBA magically controlling the universe.
When you say "not settled", what you really mean is humans should submit to Allah and then everything will be ok. I'll make you a deal Atlass, if you can show me a 13.8 billion year old Koran, physically in real life, scientifically verified, I will concede.
But I think that is as likely as finding a 13.8 billion year old Bible or 13.8 billion year old copy of ABBA's first album Waterloo.
Maybe if humans want more peace and less violence, maybe the world's population needs to consider that religion is just personal mental masturbation. Maybe if you consider that the person on the other side of the planet, like you, needs food, and doesn't want to die, like you don't want to die?

That’s not a fair offer, since the universe is only 51 years, 5 months, 27 days, and some odd number of minutes old.
