Sad, while I don't agree with either religion, I appreciate history. That's a terrible waste.

Violence is the natural conclusion of all ideas that highlight differences.
Racial purity, social systems all these are fought over.
Religion seems to thrashing around at the moment.
I hope its death thows.
The idea that group think itself, which is what a religion is, allows us as a species to form "in group out group" behaviors.
Now when I get called a racist by a Hindu even after pointing out people born in India who have rejected Hinduism and are still the same skin tones and still live there, that is an example of pretending it isn't about religion when it really is.

Yep, the west is civil because of secular law, if you took that away it would not take Christianity that long to regress back into it's prior barbarity. And we still see the effects of religion in our right wing and homophobia.
The west became civil in spite of religion, not because of it.
