You're a fucking joke, FoC. Islam, by its tenets, is a religion of peace. It's the people that have corrupted the rules to fit their own political agendas. It's absolutely no different than those pre-schism popes contorting and twisting Christianity in the medieval ages.
The Qur'an teaches multiple times that "people of the book," aka Christians and Jews, are brothers and followers of the same god. It's a similar viewpoint, if not exactly the same, as the view that Christians have of Jews, aka, they basically follow the same things, they just don't accept all the same texts as from god; it would be cool if they did, but we won't hold it against them.
The aggression and violence between the religions is not about religious, but the preceding thousand years of interaction, political, between the three. Christians invading the holy land, taking over Jerusalem, where they literally made the streets run red with blood by murdering every inhabitant of Jerusalm, mainly Muslims, every man woman and child. Historical records of the time indicate that the blood ran ankle deep.
And then later on Muslims had their time in Europe, too. Nobody is totally innocent when it comes to the political iniquities of the interactions of the religions, at all.
What's important and responsible for us is to make sure that we know why these mistakes in history happened, so we don't be dumbasses that contribute to this mindless, perpetual violence. Me nor you will ever be big enough to have an effect on the conflict, but we can do all a service by trying to educate those that hold incorrect, jingoistic views.
There's idiocy on both sides; the most responsible thing is not to contribute to it. Please educate yourself.
