RE:Muslims Fighting For LAND, Border, Country
by PKN on Jul 02, 2008 02:14 PM

Wahaj Faridy ,
I dont know if you are being sincere or or you are being sarcastic . I will assume the former and say that religion is irrelevant to all conflicts that we see today .
Human conflicts arise from self interest or an assumed self interest. The Kashmirs fighting for Independence are Muslims , the ULFA doing the same are Hindus the Nagas are Christians ! The Tibetians fighting are Budddists and the Chinese they are fighting are alos Buddhists.

When a group of people feel that their existance is threatened by the existance of another group it starts a conflict.

Religion merely is used to justifythe conflict it is never the cause . If relegion was a binding force why did Iran fight a 10 year war with Iraq ? Or why did Saddam invade Kuwait ? Why did Christian Germany wage World War II with the Chistain Allies ? Why were the Hindu Rajas of pre-muslim India fighting each other ?

If Raj Thackeray says Mumbai is only for Marathi people the whole nation spits on him. Why is there justifaction for Hurriyat that says Kashmir is only for Kashmiris ?

In the last two decades religion has come inot polticas globally . That is the greatest threat to human existance .
