Sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't. Actually most wars are fought over the control of resources.After this latest news in Paris I have to again ask myself why is violence and religion so entangled?
Perhaps a better question would be, why is any ideology or worldview so entangled with violence? Patriotism, communism, etc.After this latest news in Paris I have to again ask myself why is violence and religion so entangled?
The common factor in all these is people..... people are entangled with violence wherever you fid them

On a deeper level, why is our human nature so entangled with violence?
While violence is a universal human problem, those who adhere to some ideologies seem more inclined to violence than those who adhere to some other ideologies.
Could be, or it could be the media reports some more than others....sensationalism pays you know.

So you think it's just "the media reports it more" that Muslims as a group appear to be more disposed to violence than Tibetan Buddhists as a group?
No I don't, but I do think that we get a skewed vision of "Muslim groups" from the media and not all Muslim Groups are the same and most are not terrorists or extremists.
But I still fully believe that religions, by themselves, be they Christian, Buddhist or Islam are not violent. However when people begin to interpret them or use them for their own purposes and agenda...then the violence begins

Some ideologies seem to lend themselves to violent expression more than others, in my opinion.
I think the Abrahamic religions have got a lot to answer for.

Hi.....
Last night I watched a US 'Most Violent Police Videos' program where a maniac anti-gov Father/Son team deliberately got stopped by a police patrol so that they could kill the cops with AK47's, all filmed from the cop-car's on-board camera.
It's not always religion.......?
