as we observe, wars are now hiding behind religious excuses. how many more ppl need to die before we start to understand how absurd some of the issues that were used to justify violence? Now, being a Muslim is not safe. Whereas if one goes into its core values, Islam never encourage violence for problem solving matter. Heck, any other religion i beleive have the same principles. Its human who uses religion as and when it is convenient and draws a lot more people to fight.

One of the biggest problems that I have with Religion is that they have absolutely no tolerance for other Religions. Every one feels they are the chosen, and they spend all their time and energy trying to convert people to their way of thinking. Why can't we embrace the fact that everyone is different, and we all have the right to feel and believe what we wish. Tolerance is a great thing, something that this world could use a WHOLE lot more of.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Religion is to do right. It is to love, it is to serve, it is to think, it is to be humble." with what Emerson said and my own beliefs I really think religion is not a problem, it is what people use the religion for that is. Furthermore, I think the problems we face today is a clash of cultures and people are using the word religion or God as an excuse to justify their actions.
