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.

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

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.
