No, people will never get along and respect each other's religion.. why? because people are egotistical and believe that THEIR religion and thoughts are the ONLY ones which are right.  It has always been so.. and WILL always be so.. sad and stupid.. but true.   \nand I MUST note.. I would have a lot more respect for someone if they took the time to actually SPELL what they are trying to say and then READ it before they post it.

they don't.  countries fight over power, over money, and over resources.  those who direct the fighting, who actually cause the wars, don't care about religion.  religion is just a convenient excuse for them to stir up hate and bigotry, which NO religion condones.

No there can be no peace between the Buddha and the heretic unbelievers.  Death to every man, woman and child who will not bow down and kiss my Lord Buddha's tummy.  It's what He would have wanted.  \n\nsigned (IS DUMB)\n\nThe International Society group Delta of the Universally Militant Buddhist's

Then the Alliance is wrong.  Peace will never be achieved through the persecution and segregation of other people and religions.  It can never happen as their will always exist animosity and anger this way and the constant and continued efforts of the segregated to revolt against those measures.  All Religions and beliefs must be accepted as legitimate and acceptable.  Religion is not based on which is best it is based on believing in God.  That is it's function and purpose.  When any Religion resorts to aggressive measures, war, segregation. oppression, and or persecution then it has moved itself from the purpose and desires God had intended it to focus on and gone to Evil and wrong doing.   It says " Any person that professes to love God and hates his Brother is a liar. "  It is written in the book of God.  There is no best religion in Gods eyes as it written he has fault with all of them to some extent and in some way.  \nThe best question to ask an angry person is " What do you want " the next is " How can we work together peacefully to achieve a resolution that is acceptable to both of us ?." The third thing is to work towards that objective.   You can build the biggest wall in the world to keep people out in hopes of evading someone but eventually always find a way to tear it down.  So that Idea isn't going to work only coming to the table , discussing an acceptable resolution and working together to achieve it honestly is the answer and the only answer.

No, unfortunately. Humans are naturally aggressive, so even without religion, we would fight over languages, color, political borders, water rights, blue-eyed people, pollution...it goes on and on and on.

gr8 question, gr8 way of thinking, good human nature. where r u from?? LoL\n\nwell the answer is not in religion coz all religions r the same but in the dark nature of the human race who likes always to be the boss the leader and to make everyone different than him under his control. so that's how they r acting both sides. they hate each other not becoz of god but becoz of their benefits. \nLove+respect+humanity+god=Islam+Christianity+jewism+humanism\n\nwish we live in another world..

Their religion is probably Muslim...however, from what I know about the tenants of the Muslim religion, what these people are doing have nothing to do with the generally peaceful Muslim religion.

My dear young lady, if we could all just repect each others faiths and religions there would be more than enough room for all of us. I hate to say this but the Israelis are being as naughty as the Nazis when it comes to the Palestinians. It's sad and very very wrong. Blessings.

Asalamu Alaikum\n\nMuslimah, I'm so impressed with your Muslim spirit.\n\nI'm a Saudi Muslim and I see that Sunni Muslims disagree with Shiites in Saudi Arabia, and Shiites and Sunni and Druz Muslims disagree on thousands of topics in Lebanon.\n\nYou can't find a religion that has no disagreements between its people.\n\nPeace

I'm Catholic and my good friend is a Christian (protestant), and my other good friend is a Muslim, we all talk about our religions, and differences among them, but we still respect each others beliefs. I think the key is to learn how to listen, understand, and respect each other.

You have a good point there, in fact lets get rid of anything which maybe deemed as religious and that would stop all fighting as well as crulty in the world. Only trouble then, we would all have to live together happily. Good question, it would be great if the so called leaders of the churches and the worlds countrys take few minutes to think over this one.

Any war in the name of religion is a Holy War

Religion allows us to live under laws of man.\n\nStopping evil men in whatever way possible from killing innocent people with suicide bombs has nothing to do with religion.

It is not politaically correct to hate any other religion, but its socially acceptable to mock the christian faith.  People have a view of us as close minded, and arrogant.  However we follow a man who congregated with everyone from whores to tax colectors and even Romans.  They hold a belief that we are intolerant, and do nothing for our communities.  They see no truth in what we see.  \n\nAs for the people on here calling Islam a peaceful religion, lets look to their holy book for some answers since you guys are all experts on it lets see what the quran says:\n\nThis is for nonbelievers and how they should be treated.\n\n2:193, And fight them on until there is no more Tumult or oppression\n3:28, Let not the believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah.\n4:84, Then fight in Allah's cause - Thou art held responsible only for thyself - and rouse the believers. It may be that Allah will restrain the fury of the Unbelievers; for Allah is the strongest in might and in punishment.\n4:141, And never will Allah grant to the unbelievers a way (to triumph) over the believers\n5:33, The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter;\n8:12, I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their fingertips off them\n8:15-16, O ye who believe! when ye meet the Unbelievers in hostile array, never turn your backs to them. If any do turn his back to them on such a day - unless it be in a stratagem of war, or to retreat to a troop (of his own)- he draws on himself the wrath of Allah, and his abode is Hell,- an evil refuge (indeed)!\n8:60, Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom Allah doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of Allah, shall be repaid unto you, and ye shall not be treated unjustly.\n8:65, O Prophet! rouse the Believers to the fight. If there are twenty amongst you, patient and persevering, they will vanquish two hundred: if a hundred, they will vanquish a thousand of the Unbelievers\n9:5, But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem.\n9:3, And an announcement from Allah and His Messenger, to the people (assembled) on the day of the Great Pilgrimage, - that Allah and His Messenger dissolve (treaty) obligations with the Pagans. If then, ye repent, it were best for you; but if ye turn away, know ye that ye cannot frustrate Allah. And proclaim a grievous penalty to those who reject Faith.\n9:14, Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands, cover them with shame, help you (to victory) over them, heal the breasts of Believers,\n9:23, O ye who believe! take not for protectors your fathers and your brothers if they love infidelity above Faith: if any of you do so, they do wrong.\n9:28, O ye who believe! Truly the Pagans are unclean; so let them not, after this year of theirs, approach the Sacred Mosque.\n9:29, Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya* with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.\n9:39, Unless ye go forth, (for Jihad) He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place; but Him ye would not harm in the least.\n9:73, O Prophet! Strive hard against the unbelievers and

Try a spellcheck.\n\nSo you're suggesting that religions, which have killed each other for centuries over whose god is real, should come together, make peace, and team up against secularism.\n\nLet me lay this out for you... Secularism is what is bringing peace to the world.  And religious differences are the reason people want a secular society.  If we let religious people rule our governments (which we have done since the beginning of recorded history) there can be nothing BUT warfare.\n\nBut if you want to make religions play nice with each other, by all means, go ahead and try.  You're completely wasting your time, but good luck with that.

Beware of collapsing the two-- religion and those who follow religion. For I posit, that even without "religion", we would be divided over something or other. \n\nObserve two toddlers at play for a few hours and watch them fight over one toy. Very quickly you'll see, it is not their religion that has divided them, but their "idea" that they both own this toy. \n\nWe fight not because of religion, but because of our differing ideologies, beliefs, etc. Throw our heated emotions into the mix, and we can really be hostile, violent people.\n\nHence, don't vilify religion but take note of human nature. For that's what religion does, it illuminates our human nature in hopes that we might be empowered to "be our best" in spite of ourselves.
