Hi everyone,
Let me give you my opinion. Countries invading other countries is all about power and money (let's call it economy). Some individuals, sick in their minds, need to have power, and they USE religion or the poverty of their own people as a pretext to obtain even more power.
It has been like that always. From the christian crusaders using christian religion as a pretext to invade north africa - to HITLER who invaded Belgium and a great part of Europe (using the bad economical situation in Germany) - to Bush who says he believes in God but in fact wants America's economy to grow - to Osama bin Laden who uses in my opinion the islamic religion to have some kind of power (though not in terms of material possession I think).
I think you should respect every religion. You can see that in every religion, the main purpose is being "good" to other people.
I myself am not religious, but I do believe that we should respect each other's believes.
And I feel sorry for Dadi. He doesn't seem happy to me. Hope he changes his
mind. He could trie and read about islam for example. It is not an aggressive religion at all. As I said, religion is USED by some individuals to obtain power.
