The problems in the middle east have little to do with religion. Blaming foreign violence on religion is just an easy cop out for not accepting the truth. It comes down to two things...
- A lack of natural resources that would make these countries more stable (oil can't do it alone). Their geographic location in general is a very difficult place to build up a society from scratch.
- A lack of international aide. Especially when one country, such as Israel, gets a lot but it's neighbors get very little. This inflames tempers and is the one and only cause of middle east on western world terrorism.
Those of you who think religion fuels middle east conflict need to turn off FOX News.
And for those of you who think religion is a bad thing for society, try educating yourselves. Almost every aspect of our society was either built by the church or heavily influenced by religion. We would still be living like barbarians without it.
