I feel that faith and religion are great things to have. I feel though that religion is supposed to create peace and harmony among everyone, Muslim, Catholic, Jew, Buddhist and any other religion there is. Some individuals in every religion take faith to cause harm to others. All the way back to the crusades when Catholics wanted to peruse a "holy war" has religion been used to cause harm to others. In modern days the Muslim Jihad and the state of Israelis use of excessive force have been examples of religion being used for the wrong purpose. No one who believes in a higher purpose can and should be able to kill another human being if the person uses religion as an excuse they are not truly religious. Yes there is many things wrong with different people out there but there are three fundamental things everyone shares. I shall call them this "air, water, food" This stands for everyone breaths the same air, everyone drinks water to survive and everyone needs food to survive. As a people in whole we need to look at what is good in every individual and realize that if you are religious then you should look at the good in everyone not just think that since someone is from different religious or cultural descent then they are bad we need to step back and realize what we do affects everyone. The comics that were published were not of good taste and were very offensive but that does not mean we can do harm to offers because of anger. Same with any other religion out there tolerate not hate. This is my opinion and I would like to hear some feedback.
