How has religion led to conflict in modern day society and throughout the ages?
Throughout time there has always been religious conflict. The Jewish and Islamic faiths have been involved in religious based conflict for over 3,000 years. Israel has been a hot spot for conflict between the two religious for thousands of years, partly because the city of Jerusalem has a large religious significance for three of the world's major religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. In 1947 when the original Palestine was set to be divided by the untied nations to create two separate Jewish and Arab states, Jerusalem and Bethlehem were deemed corpus separatum due to their religious significance to the three religions. Although Israel's leaders openly accepted the plan to share the two cities, the Arab leaders did not think that they should have to share a city that was "rightfully theirs" in their view. In response to the partition, the Arabs responded with an attack in 1948 which counterproductively ended in them losing a large deal of territory as well as the rights to have shared the city. The war also caused over 700,000 Jews in eight other Arab countries to have to flee and seek refuge in other countries. Later in 1967, Israel continued to change the boundaries, gaining control of the remaining Arab territory and pushing out many Palestinians.
Although many people say the reason for this conflict was not entirely religion based because thousands of Palestinians were evicted from a place that they considered to be home, the impetus for the conflict and the main reason it has continued for so long is due to religious intolerance.
Today the two religions continue to look at the differences in the two faiths instead of their numerous similarities. Some Islamic people practice extreme intolerance toward other faiths and see it as part of their spiritual duty to practice "Jihad" or "war against nonbelievers". Throughout the past several years there has been almost daily attacks of terrorism in the Middle East. Terrorist attacks and religious intolerance have led to millions of deaths not only in the Middle East but around the world. In order for us to facilitate a peaceful world we must teach our prodigy to not only tolerate other religions but to "[emphasize] those common threads of similarity of religions rather than emphasizing the differences" (Center for Religious Based Conflict).
