I don't remember learning anywhere that I have to like or dislike certain cultures or religions based on their beliefs or customs. Its not automatically *anything* other than having your own opinion, and if its unpopular....so what!
The Israelis waged a terrorist style conflict for years in Palastine...
I had a mate based in Ulster during the last ceasefire, decommision...blah blah blah whatever you wanna call it, and basically as far as he is concerned it was simply cuz they where loosing, special forces had virtually wiped out there hierachy, the only people they had where the idiots on street corners, the REAL boyos had been wiped out... There funds had been seezed and the Yanks had had a bollocking off Maggy.
So they declared Peace, during this Peace... Noraid (The American Charity), raised new funds, and the idiots on the street corners where shipped of to Libiya and trained in the art of terror, when everything was back upto speed... Bang, end off the peace!!
Maybe, I got it all wrong, but in my opinion, when it comes to religious hatred, it don't matter if it's Catholics and Protostants, Jews and Arabs, Muslims and well everyone so it seems... there will always be fanatisism and there will always be people willing to kill.
