    Only about 53 current wars going on, not all are “Islamic” in nature, but they are tribal/religious arguments in most cases.

    From Hamlet, Act 2, Scene 2 – What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express and admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the world, the paragon of animals.^Sadly,C.

    The book “A Long Way Gone” is a very insightful first hand account of what is going on with some of these groups.

    That’s not news. It’s just black people and maybe a few Frenchies. (end bitter snark).Aren’t they using some of those girls they kidnapped to deliver suicide bombs? Can people be any more despicable?

    Crazee people will use any tool at hand to justify their deadly insanity. It’s not Islam’s fault.

    Just remember, the last US administration considered itself very Christian and they invaded another country which hadn’t done anything to us and managed to destabilize the whole Middle East in the process. It’s not the religion by the drive for power that’s the problem.

    It is the religion of Greed and Power (control) that is driving most violence/wars. Islam is NOT a religion, it is a system of government.

    “All religion is a plague upon the Earth in that people use it justify all the ugliness and hatred they perpetrate against others.”.As a Christian I really want to disagree with you, but I can’t.

    Just a note from Aljazeera America: almost all of Boko Haram’s victims are MUSLIMS! Hmm, ’Hundred years War" Christian on Christian. Then those little more recent incidents like the “Mountain Meadow Massacre” in Utah.

    The beat, down, goes on.

    Of course it’s Islams fault. Just like the Spanish Inquisition was Catholicisms fault and Naziism was the Germans peoples fault. If you don’t stand up and find fault with aberrant behavior, call out those who support it and make some effort to stop it -it’s your fault too.

    Islam has become a religion of hate and violence because so many keep their mouths closed and look away, and because of the hypocrisy of Arab leadership in supporting violent Wahhabi mullahs. Face up to it.

    ^The book of Joshua and “Gott mit Uns” pretty well state the equivalence of those two offshoots of “the book” to the horrors coming from a miniority faction in Islam. Through history, and today, all three factions practice “jihad”.

    At the same time, my son spoke of working crews in Iraq with Shia and Sunni working fine together, then going home to their neighborhoods segregated by walls WE built. How many walls in Israeli controlled territoriies?

    Was it Frost who was actually quite mistaken in saying good fences (walls) make good neighbors? But then I guess he was talking mostly about sheep.

    I sense an almighty chip on your shoulder and it has nothing to do with ’toon’s theme but everything to do with closer to home. Tch.
