so many people think that it's the religion actually which is the cause of bloodshed but history and current events suggests that it's the nationalism ( misunderstanding oneself belonging to a superior race).
as history shows us, most bloody wars were fought becasue one human thought himself to be superior. like 1st and 2nd world wars, and various invasions of japanese in 16th to 19th centuries on china, killing so many people. invasions of genghis khan (if my spellings are correct, as i am from urdu medium school, we used to call him changez khan there, lol) and his decendents. invasions of alexander, the great for domination of greeks over iranians and later rest of the world. expeditions of colonial powers,like spanish( abit religion was involved), english potuguese, dutch and the french. in most recent times the horrific incidents in rawanda, where huto and tutsi tribes were fighting, and more than 300,000 people were killed.
and then the killings of arabs by jewish race. many people think that judaism is a religion, it's true. but more than being a religion it's a race, because there are so much restrictions if a person who is not a jew to become a jew. orthodox doesn't allow it at all, however some reformists do allow, but still they are not accepted in the community (my personal opinion). that's why jews don't preach. wallah i am not against jews, don't think that, please.
and there are numerous other examples which suggest that nationalism is the major cause of bloodshed. so it means if a person is against nationalism or try to weaken this sentiment he or she is a benefactor of humanity. what u people think?????
p.s. i don't get the chance of reading my posts after writting and i don't like too as well, so please don't wast your time in mentioning my gramatical and spelling errors.[D]
