Religion is and has reguarly been used to cover this up.
btw Gerd - it's Robert Fisk (very courageous guy), sorry it just amused me because to 'frisk' someone in english means something else.

GFK said:My opinion is that almost every religion is useless. Maybe this seems a bit radical. But if you look through the histories of all religions you can understand it. Basically we all have the same religion. We all have the same god in the end. And we threated each other like that. In the begining time of the Islam, jewish and christians all lived peacefully together.
And if you loook how the European abused religion through the decades.. Almost every religion has grown out of his 'roots'. Ah so many examples how religions are being used for imperialisme, for colonisation, for own power-issues. I just cant believe anymore, not after all what happened to religions.
The only religion I can understand a bit is Budhisme, at least that is orientated on yourself..
Oh about Iran, I really dont care if a country wants to have an nuclear program if the western countries are allowed that too. But dont you think its a bit tricky to allow a country like Iran a nuclear program if their prime minister says that all jewish people have to be destroyed and weeped out of Israel..?
denirobob said:GFK, regarding the comments that their President has made, Sharon has also made a fair few similar things over the years and there was no outcry then. Also, the US & Israel have both already threatened to deploy nuclear weapons (new smaller bunker busters etc...) against Iran although again as to be expected not a word about the morality/hypocrisy of such statements.
denirobob said:Exactly mate.
There is a finite amount of Land/Oil/Gas/Water etc.. in the world, and control of it (through war) has always been the key to power.
PLF, Ged & Spikester - great coherent & informative posts, I'll try to come online later and contribute.
On a slight tangent does anybody know much about Genghis Khan and the Mongols ? I've been reading up about it recently and wasn't aware of how close they came to invading & conquering all of Europe. He wasn't religious as far as I'm aware.
