I have spent all my life in war and know what it means if you would have a bomb explosion right in front of your door and you lose your loved ones, and the bomb and rocket were not made in poor developing countries ,(islamic and non Islamic countries, which cant give even electricity to capital cities of their countries) but they all made in developed countries which are almost non Muslim, so now what do you think of it?

I just learned one point , war is not related to religion like Islam, christian or other religions, but it is all about power and to become richer, at the cost of human blood. let's do not think of being Muslim, christian and Jews. Cant you imagine with the world of today which we have UN system in the world and all countries should come together and solve their problems, but why they should come together since there are luck and good will in some countries problem and war for some people.

I answer:

I´m sorry that you had gone though all that pain.

Having said that. I could tell you that the same question had the Byzantines, Spanish, Italians, and all other conquered by the muslims by force (in this case swords, and even powder). And many muslims are being killed by fellow muslims despite from where the weapon came from.

Re. your second paragraph: I don´t 100% agree with it (I see a strong correlation between Islam and war), but agree in the spirit of it. Let's stop war, either in the name of religion, money, oil or any other!
