War of Religions
Whether it is denied or not, we are currently on the cusp of an all out war between religions.
On one side there Is Islam. At one point in human history Islamists held control over a major portion of the world. Through warfare they expanded their power and converted the people within their realm. Those that didn't convert were either killed or forced to pay a tax and live as second class citizens. Often victim to the whims of the Islamic majority. Listening to Islamic apologists today can be frustrating. Hearing people claim that the Jews, Christians, Buddhists, etc were treated well as long as they accepted their second class status. This does not jibe with modern day ideology. Statement's like these are downplayed or ignored outright. Everywhere Islam is making inroads there is conflict. It won't be long before it becomes violent within the US.
On the other side there Are the Jews and the Christians. Considered "People of the Book" by Islam. Historically the Jews have been victim to just about every genocidal monster that has come to power. They have also been victim to their fellow "People of the Book", the Christians. It appears recently that these "people of the Book" are growing closer in their relations. The Christians have matured to realize that the Jews are not Christ killers. And the Jews are realizing that although Christians attempt to proselytize, that the Christians have developed a respect for the fellow believers in the one and true G-d. Whereas Judaism has been limited to a small portion of the populace, Christianity spread and is the "dominant" religion of the 3 "Abrahamic" faiths.
The Jews and Christians appear to be able to live together as equals. Islam refuses this. Islam from it's inception was meant to dominate, by force if necessary. The Islamic Koran allows for lies and deception if it advances the cause of Islam. Lying to a non-believer is acceptable. a Muslim cannot fight against his Muslim brother. Whereas Judaism and Christianity are faiths that help a person make decisions in their life. Islam mandates and dictates every move a Muslim makes. The Jewish and Christian G-d is active in the daily lives of his people. The Islamic allah appears to be aloof and doesn't like to be bothered.
Christianity is rooted in Judaism. The Christian Old Testament is founded in Judaism's Torah and Talmud. This provides the history of the Jewish people in their walk with G-d. The New Testament is the preaching of Jesus Christ and his disciples. The continuing walk with G-d that was given to the Gentiles. True children and the Adopted. Just as there would be in any household with natural children and adopted, there are squabbles. In the end, differences are set aside for the greater good. (Yes this is oversimplified but I only have so much space to write.)
Islam doesn't allow for differences. The Koran, and the hadiths, are adamant in their charges. There can be no acceptance of the non-believer. Tolerance of the Infidel is unacceptable. In order to be a "moderate" muslim, one would have to disavow a major portion of the Koran. This would set one up as an apostate and just as heretical as the Jews and Christians.
The differences between the faiths will not be reconciled by politics. Yap sessions between diplomats will not relieve each faith's expected duties. Each religion has it's true believers and those that support them. Whether a person is active in conflict or not, they believe what their books guide them to do and will support it. This cannot be negated without war. If you hear a Jew, Christian, or Muslim disavow what is in their Holy Book's then you are not dealing with a true believer and will not solve anything.
As I stated we are on the cusp of a religious war. The sooner people in power acknowledge it the sooner it can be over. Ignoring the facts only makes it worse and the outcome be more chaotic.
