How can we end monotheist terrorism?

[Osomir]

You don't see Wiccans murdering people in the streets. You don't see Asatruar setting off car bombs for Thor or Buddhists gunning down Middle Eastern kids in the name of universally compassionate enlightenment. You do see Muslim terrorists planting bombs for the sake of Allah and Christian terrorists shooting kids at European summer camps. This tells us something. This tells us exactly what the problem is. The problem isn't Islamic terrorism or Christian terrorism or Jewish terrorism. The problem is all of it. The problem is monotheist terrorism. The kind of mind that says there is one truth and that's the one that mind will die for is the same mind that will prove ready and willing to cause other people to die for it as well. How can we stop this? How can we do our part to stamp out terrorist monotheism?

Could try something that's never been tried before and not have one monotheist country drop bombs on another monotheist country or install leaders whos ubjugate the other country's population for the benefit of the first. Not naming names but they speak English. Badly.

The Brits?

I have seen plenty of Canadian individuals tell Parisian French speakers that their French is horrible. But yes.

More in common is male macho ego than religion.

and indeed statistical analysis shows high numbers of young males within a society to be a significant potential causal variable for conflict. Unlike what religion that society happens to follow.

I guess humanity needs to take a second look at how we raise young men--it could curb future violence and save thousands of lives!!

There are a couple of theories on this. Young men in and of themselves only increase risk slightly. It is when they exist beside other variables, such as mountainous terrain, weak states, heavily ethnically or religiously divided states, high rates of unemployment) that they become truly dangerous for stability. Young men are naturally more inclined to taking risks and to engaging in riskier behavior which also makes them prime candidates for risky behavior such as criminal activity and political violence (or political protest, and higher financial gambles). How we raise men implies that specific ideologies among them are responsible for their proclivity to this type of behavior, but really it is more biological, and at time passive cultural, than it is actively ideological. It Isn't that they are raised wrong, it's just that they are more likely to mobilize when situations make such mobilization potentially profitable.

The synapses are strong with this one ^^.

These last few posts of yours are simply astute. I don't know where you've been but I hope to see more of these. Just a note to say, bravo.
