Does religion cause violence?

[Larsson]

What is the relationship between religion and armed conflict in 'hot-spots' around the world?

[answerfish]

Well, look at the following areas and their ethnic divides.

former Yugoslavia: Muslim-Christian; India-Pakistan; Muslim-Hindu; the Phillipines; Muslim-Christian ...
to name but a few. Draw whatever conclusions you will

[Sensei]

Religion doesn't cause violence, people do. Religion is only a concept. People will fight over any concept they feel strongly about, particularly when there is a distinct difference in concepts & beliefs, race- whatever.
