I respect the author's view but I disagree with them .
1-The history shows that the struggles between the cultures and nations arise from the man's desire to grab power. USA and USSR were christian nations having a cold war.Hitler attacked USSR a christian nation again for power and money grab.The killing he did in USSR was for land grab .History will keep on repeating itself .Some times on the name of relegion ,some times on some other names but the motive will be the same .Power grab .In future china will become super power and it will annexed/retake Taiwan.If India becomes super power it will do the same with Kashmir.
2- Unfortunately the elite of most of the country have little or no moral values at all. In political system you can win only by a lot of true and false promises and lies only .
3-You cant blame the whole country for invasion/or some misdoing but the leadership can be blamed only.It is like blaming a car for accident when driver should get the blame .
4- If there are concerns about a particular relegion dominating the population ,it will happen only if people like to accept that relegion and it should be left to them to go for that relegion.
Note : these are my views .I strongly beleive in them however you dont have to agree with them.I will wellcome any reasonable and open debate.
