This has nothing to do with religion. It's all politics. One side just so happens to be Jews and Christians and the other just so happens to be Muslims. It comes down to money. Who paid for those bombs Israel is now dropping? Why doesn't Lebanon have the ability to retaliate? It's because we here in the west chose to support one side and not the other.... and then we wonder why they hate us.
