I saw this article: Religion does fulfill primary need in which the author defends religion against someone who was blaming it for the unrest in the middle east.
I think what they are both missing is that such things don't come from religion, they come from people who are fanatics. You may as well blame soccer or politics or ideologies for war and violence. The truth is these things are merely excuses for some fanatic to vent his insanity against someone else. If those things didn't exist the fanatic would find some other excuse for his actions.
So next time you hear someone blaming Islam or Christianity or any other religion for war or violence just point out the truth - some nut case is simply using them as an excuse.
