Countries, religions or both?  |

I completely agree re religion - Islam is particularly troublesome - you only have to look at recent events in Batley.
Tribal disagreements are far more aggressive - look in Rwanda, Middle East, Ethiopia - this is real and nothing to do with religion. |

Sadly, I believe that conflict is just part of what we are as humans. Religion, colour and geographic boundaries are just the excuses.

I’ve read the bible. Can you point out where it says “thou shall blow up innocent people” or “if thou sees a cartoon of Jesus thou should get a machine gun and murder people”? |

I don't think they had AK47s and TNT in the middle east 2000 years ago.

They didn’t.

An chap called John Green has a series of 42 short videos on YouTube called Crash Course World History that I found entertaining and informative, when I watched them a few years ago. |

China had fireworks c200BC - started using explosives about 600AD - possibly just before the start of Islam.

Primitive firecrackers (e.g. bamboo stems thrown into fires), you mean?
What’s your source for explosives being developed/used that early (before the 9th century)? |

Have gone into some sort of meta, self referential liar, liar parody skit here? With Johnsonian alt-facts?
It’s okay to be wrong. If a bit lazy nowadays. Like me, when I didn’t know what ‘commercial banking’ meant the other day. Learning is winning. Desperately reframing and chatting chaff isn’t for intellectual titans like me and thee. It is for second rate bluffers like ABdPJ. |

I can’t believe that Labour supporters are actually sticking up for terrorists in This thread.
