Dangerous Precedents

The world has certainly entered into a more dagerous phase.

Things are likely to get worse before they get better.

If Buddhism appealed to world 100% of world would be Buddhist b/c they were here before Jews Christians Hindu Islam, etc., etc.Not necessarily in that order!
No,Buddhism was not here before everyone else.It was either the Hindus or the Jews(a Hindu -Jew conspiracy from 5000 years ago).Of course,animism was probably here first of all.
Please get basic facts right before you decide to share them.

it is only when you have a three car garage and air-conditioning that you don`t really want to die .............
But surely Mohammad Ata and Hanif and Sharif all had all of that.I agree old Marx knew what he was saying about religion being the opium of the (starving) masses,but this is more than a class struggle going on.However,only fools could deny that there is a large class element to it.

Dilshad,
Claiming to be woman is a hoot.Claim indeed.As if!BTW what is androgenic ally,a male ally?
I see nothing contradictory in my post so could you perhaps enlighten me?Animism is not usually considered a religion in its own right,if that`s what you`re talking about.I mention Hinduism and Judaism because they are still considered religions,and no,I do not want to go into a discussion on how both are ways of life.
Studebaker,
Those who lived in the Indus valley would be considered Hindus in todays terms because they lived in the area and worshipped a Mother Goddess and a god who bore some resemblance to Shiva.Please don`t tell me you thought they were Muslims.Look up any history books and you will find that-(not in Paki books I agree,but that`s your problem,not mine.)I`d be able to give you the name,but all I remember is that these 2 books are standard textbooks for Indian history,and published by OUP,one written by a Brit and one by a Bong.If any Indians out there remember,please let us know! It just occurred to me that you possibly think the Vedas don`t belong to Hindus at all-you`d be right in a way,they belong to all of humanity.
What vitriol against the Jews.Why the less said the better?So not only do people like you want them to leave Israel,you would like them to disappear from the face of the earth.Remind you of anyone?When this is the way you feel about them,I can understand why they want a state of their own and why they defend it with all they have.Interestingly,if you live in the US,your taxes are going to support Israels`defence.Shouldn`t you do something about that?
People,please,if you`re frustrated at the way history has turned out,don`t make up your own.
