The Crusades which took place waaay back in medieval times pitted a victorious King Richard the Lionheart, who represented Christianity against Saladin, and the Islamic armies of Allah, and the repercussions from this confrontation have never really come to an end. The Great Inqusition whose Christian mission was to bring death to the Infidels perpetuated this ill will. Judaism and Christianity finally learned to co-exist but down through the centuries, Islam never stopped ruminating with an obsession to avenge its defeat and destroy all enemies of Allah Religion which is supposed to generate love and peace has always been at the core of wars and conflict and in the waging of these mini armageddons, each denomination thinks God is on its side. Eastern religions like Buddhism focus more on Man's divinity and the tranquility to be gained through introspection with the idea that once the soul transcends the ego and embraces its spiritual humanity the good karma this exudes has the potential to resonate throughout the world, making it a better place through the positive power of love. But - no such luck and Doomsday is hovering on the horizon. Have a good day.
