A religious war is a war by religious differences. It can be the legitimate forces of one state that has an established religion against those of another state with either a quite different religion or a different sect within the same religion, or, at the level below a state, it can be a faction motivated by religion attempting to spread its faith by violence either within the state or elsewhere. The European Wars of Religion, the Crusades, the Reconquista are frequently cited historical examples (Wikipedia).

[quote post="12"]There is but one God[/quote]
this says more than anything i could ever write..
if only everyone truely understood, that no matter what religion you follow..you are worshipping the same, the one God..
In my view this probably the oldest riddle of times can never be solved, unless we realize that there are two perspectives.
One from above, where Hitler was as necessary to the developments as anyone else.
One from below, where we might perceive Hitler as a force of evil that must be combatted by the force of good (even with violence where necessary).
Neither is correct or wrong.
Know when you are acting the role that universe gave you, and fulfil that role to it utmost, but also know that you are only part of the game, and it might very well be that you are destined to be defeated in order for something else to follow.
We are not god, but we are a part of god.
First learn to shift perspective at will, then look for the combination.
So many through the centuries, so many now. All those who fight in the name of religion HAVE NOT met God, have not met Allah, Budha….Such a big planet, so many names, so many ways of seeing the light. Believe, but do not force others to believe your way. Peace in the name of “…..”
There was a second world war and Hitler was stopped.
It happened as it happened, what would have happened if…
noone knows maybe we would all have the blond hair, maybe we wouldn’t.
It has been a terrible thing for many people, and the second world war has millions of personal stories, some of horror some of hope.
And today we are all allowed to have different opinions, but Hitler was a man, just one man, it shows how one man can influence many, as he has been influenced by many to.
As for us is it to think what could have or would have or should have happened, is not our path in front of us, one can learn from it but not change the past nor speculate.
We are now, wars, religious wars is still happening, and it is not bad to have some thoughts about the issue, or to take a stand.
But more important then what others do or did is what we do ourselves.
