Worldwide war over religion

UN Secretary General Kofi Annan called on Tuesday for sensitivity towards religious beliefs and sacred symbols, warning that mistakes, intentional or not, could trigger a global war of religion.

He said international migration, which brought millions of people of different creed and culture to live together, has not united them.

"The misconceptions and stereotypes underlying the idea of a clash of civilization have come to be more and more widely shared, and insensitivity towards other people's beliefs or sacred symbols - intentional or otherwise - is seized on by those who seems eager to foment a new war of religion, this time on a global scale," Annan said in his address to the UN General Assembly.

This is the saddest thing, Spirituality ain't religion.

Religion that fake fascist wannabe spirituality, it will destroy us unless we stop the religious fanatics.

2. Mind boggling
What they won't do out of the fear of God too.
Like sit down, re edit the abusive bloody,evil warlike shit from their 'holy' bible scriptures that make God out to be a psychopath.Like the Book of Joshua and Revelations.

3. They would do the same
with or without a god. It's the human condition. Fear sells, and causes people to act upon it to save themselves and those they love.

The current WOT is about fear, not religion. And IMHO, many if not most wars were fought for the same reason.

5. He's diplomatically asking people to treat Islam with kid gloves
IMO. It's not all that hard to get Islamic radicals to explode in violence these days, and there do seem to be a significant number of them.
