Both sides use the name.
To use is the dead opposite of give.
This means both sides are anti the correct way.
Anti God and Anti Christ.
My point being though, neither side has exclusivity rights to the "dangerous religious heretic" moniker.
And every time we try to make it that ,"Its just their evil religion" we drift further and further away from mutual understanding, and legitimate peace
Legitimate peace is not in our nature. C`mon now...it is a nice ideal, but hardly realistic. Our primitive animal instincts and tendancies won`t allow it. We are on a boxing forum...why is that. All about 2 people trying to hurt the other and show dominance.
Managing our instincts may be about as close to it as we come, and I suggest that management in and of itself is shown and helps explain the birth of religion.
We will always have violent tendancies. They will come in many shades of gray, and under many names. But overall, it is nature. Ugly sometimes, yes. Hard to understand, certainly. Part of who and what we are as a species, most definately.
