War is not necessary, period. It may be unavoidable at times, but it is never necessary.

I think that the necessity of any war is dependent upon the situation. I think the war against Nazi Germany was necessary. As far as religious wars go...i wish we didn't have to kill each other over how we pray and view G-d i don't think that's what He wants.

I agree. Islam only talks about war as a last resort. If they want to kill you anyways, you have to fight. And if they supress your beliefs ex. don't let you go to the masjid, church, synagogue, you have to fight. However, if some people did not want to become Muslims, war was never declared on them. They were just required to be peaceful members of the country, civilization, empire, etc. and pay a small tax.

I've been a pacifist for 35 years. My experience is that most Christians don't agree with this philosophy, even though Jesus is called the Prince of Peace.

I don't think religious wars are usually necessary, but religion is usually used by politicians to make every war seem necessary.

It's sad that I agree so adamantly with this. You'd think that anyone proclaiming to be a follower of a peaceful religion would not use this tactic, and I wish it was so.

(Please note that I'm not naming any names here.)

"Love your enemy" is an oxymoron to most people. I took it for a koan.

What do you think, is the present conflict a religious war?
