Let me ask you a question?
Do you know your religon well if you can recite the stories and have memorized many passages and lines.....or......do you know you religion well when you understand the overall philosphy and aims of the founders and follow those beliefs, even if you don't remember the stories and details?
Let me ask you another question.
Did the events of 9/11 make you think,
1. Gosh! These terrorists are serious! We better leave them alone.
or
2. We will make them pay for what they did.
If you followed answer 2. Then how can you possibilty believe that killing 40,000 people in Iraq will reduce terrorism. Do you think people of the world will think...gosh!! The Americans are serious, we better not mess with them.
Or
Do you think Orphaned children, and widowed fathers in Iraq will think...I will make them pay for what they died.
It is an absolute undeniable proven fact that violence creates more violence.
Since nearly all religions support peace, love and tolerance, I would like to know how anyone could support the Iraq war, the increase of violence and terrorism around the world as a result.
By starting the Iraq war, the USA has set an example that it is ok to use weapons of mass distruction to achieve your goals. Hey....same goals as Osama Bin Laden.
