So much wisdom in three paragraphs

Dear Dr Pipes:

Every reader of your site --muslim or non-Muslim-- should read the above message from the reader Madhav Singh from Australia. This reader has epitomized the root cause of the problem in three short paragraphs.

I read this letter shortly after I read the news of 137 people getting killed in Syria within a day. And then I checked that Syria is 98% Islamic. With the society as uniform as Syria's why should there exist a reason to kill? But then that is what Madhav SIngh has so clearly explained.
