Get rid of religion and things will be peaceful?
Tell that to the millions of Chinese who were massacred by the non-religious Chairman Mao and his diabolical thugs in the "cultural revolution."
Tell that to the half the
population of Kampuchea murdered by the non-religious Pol Pot.
Tell that to the millions upon millions of Russians who died at the hands of formerly-religious Joe Stalin.
This current head of state in Belgrade may be using/stirring up old religious rivalries for his own ends, but make no mistake, this is not a religious man, and this is a race war and a land grab.
If people feel strongly about ANYTHING, be it
religion, a philosophy, a nation's "pride,"
racial
pride or racial hate,WHAT HAVE YOU, and don't temper it with humility and mercy, there will be war over it eventually.
