I don't quibble about the theoretical meanings of religion, but look at how it's applied. So far, it seems that all the recent religion-related violence has to do with Islam: Darfur, Chechnia, Thailand, etc...
If the likes of you spent more time and effort on fixing the problems, then perahps we wouldn't be having these conversations.
Excellent debate tactics
dna. Well said and well documented off the net.
Indonesia is another horrific battleground between Muslim's and "infidels."
Switching sails now back to a tack i had developed earlier, i'd like to further those ideas. I don't belive in Darwinian, Neo-Darwinian or any other tinfoiler theories about Creation. But there are studies in both modern science's amazing discoveries about the human brain and the study of cavemen and primates that are worth bearing on here. Extreme Rage is displayed among many cavemen groups and among primates like chimpanzes and Gorillas as a form of shock and awe used to seize territory and anything else they want. Such as a tree filled with ripe fruit.
The correlation is this... Extreme rage is an instinctive tool of aggression. It's hardwired. Civilized cultures have disconnected that wire. Uncivilized cultures have not. So for example, we might have a large farming region of "civilized infidels" living peacefully. Who suddenly find themselves surrounded by Islamic immigrants. Who want that land for their own subsistence. There's no way to even protest in the villages against anything the Muslims do because of the rage factor. Try it and you just get shouted down or savagely attacked. One by one the non-muslims get shoved out by screaming muslims. This scenario in multiple variations and themes is happening in Indonesia especially but likewise all over the World.
Islam keeps hardwired the EXTREME RAGE required to get their way. And as
dna and other posters have made clear, the Islamic Leadership manipulates and pushes that hot button for political reasons. And the kids are brainwashed to express the ultimate EXTREME RAGE which is done by becoming suicide bombers when reaching adulthood.
I see the mass propagation of Muslim EXTREME RAGE as the result of political mass manipulation that has gone on and refined itself into an extremely potent force over the time span of 14 centuries.
If communism can be called democracy forced on everyone else at the point of a gun. Than Islamic Law states might be considered to be forced onto every else at the point of EXTREME RAGE.
Want something? Scream! Babies instinctively rely on that instinct from day one. I think it's time for the entire 1.2 billion Musloms of the planet to grow up out of that crib and learn how to behave civilized. For the sake of humanity and all life on the planet. Otherwise entire swaths of the areas dominiated by Islam are eventually going to get nuked by Israel and their proxies the USA and Britain.
Let's face it. Islam can't handle nukes properly because they can't even handle and overide their reptian brain's primal instincts. We live in an extremely dangerous global jungle.
