no and thats were the problem begins.so money aswell creates hartred and it actually doesnt.its the human being which does that but people tend to blame smth else for their hatred and obsession.
I agree. I'm not religious, but I don't think religion is a problem per se.
Saying we should get rid of a religion because it turns people into terrorists is like saying we should get rid of money because it turns people and nations into criminals and warmongers.
Fanatism is to religion what extreme greed is to money. It's the dark side of it and what we must work towards controlling. Being properly educated helps.
Syria and Iraq are for the most part shit holes with DAESH military bases and training camps. I've been hearing a lot today that we should go and destroy that military infrastructure. That will just turn Syria and Iraw into shit holes without military bases and training camps. People will still be uneducated and become even easier prey for religious radicals. We should work towards actually improving their standards of living, and educating them into not behaving like barbarians. It's a slow process, but if the cruel, ultranationalistic and violent japanese that celebrated raping and executing their war victims until the end of WW2 are now among the most civiized countries in the world, then surely there is some hope for the Middle East.
