Then I realised that following one's God is quite a different thing to following the man-made rules of a religion.

Kufar was kicking them out of their homes that's why those wars happened but not becasue of religion i don't think the main reason is religion but it may sound like a war between religions or people get advantage of religion to attract more people into their wars (while they have certain goals far of religion indeed) that we would have to defend our own people but mainly the reason is to take lands occupy them take their fortunes nothing more if people did really care about religion and made wars because of them they wouldn't have done it as long as all religions don't ask fro wars but a better lifehttp://www.englishforums.com/English/WhyReligionsCauseWars/dnpjm/post.htm#318944Sun, 26 Apr 2009 09:38:35 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:318944nona the brit11http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhyReligionsCauseWars/dnpjm/post.htm#318944http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments28-318944.xmlI'm not sure that I would agree that most wars are caused by religion.

It is religion that preach and thus create wars against other religions like Judism agains Islam, Islam against Chiristinity, Christinity against Hinduism and so on. Present day wars (Islam's war on Kufar, Osama's war on U.S and America's war on terrorism) are also fruit of religious hatred and prejudice which are destroying the humanity. I think all the religions have created to enslave other people and get power. What do you think and why?
