I know that a lot of wars are carried on in the name of religion when in fact the very act of war itself is against the teachings of those religions (Northern Ireland being a classic example. If either side truly believed in what their religion taught they would not have done any of the things they did.) I believe politicians use religion as a means of recruitment and enciting people to violence - like the muslim cleric recently mentioned in another thread.
I do not believe that Islam truly teaches that it is required of members to kill non-believers. I think it's twisted to convince gullible people and unfortunately there are a lot of gullible people.
