You claim you disagree then turn around and make my point for me: Mankind is responsible for how they use inanimate objects like swords, shovels and books.I disagree.
If you were born perfectly but then were forced to chant verses from the koran for 12 hours a day seven days a week, you too would be eager to blow yourself up by the time you were 12 years old.
To say the book has nothing to do with the evil done in its name is just avoiding the root of the problem of religion in general where a persons degree of faith has come to be determined by their ability to profess a belief in the ridiculous with a straight face..
You are assuming people are just soulless meat computers and incapable of thinking for themselves. Yes, if you indoctrinated a class of 30 students from birth until they were 12 years of age, you'd likely find 1 or 2 willing to strap on a suicide belt and go murder a busload of innocent Jews. All of them? No as reality proves. That's why relatively few Palestinians are actually throwing themselves against Israeli defenses.
There are 1.8 million Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip. How many are willing to commit suicide with a bomb?
