Dead Enders
I saw a trio of media discussing one of the major causes of violence and war. The first was this well done piece about the Great Separation and the challenges it faces:
The Politics of God By MARK LILLA Published: August 19, 2007
After centuries of strife, the West has learned to separate religion and politics  to establish the legitimacy of its leaders without referring to divine command. There is little reason to expect that the rest of the world  the Islamic world in particular  will follow.
In comparison, USA Today ran this rather intolerant piece:
Secularists, what happened to the open mind?
Many of the leading voices among atheists and the ‘unreligious’ reveal a disdain for religion that can only damage today’s dialogue. Speaking with people of faith, instead of about them, would enrich both sides of this philosophical divide.
And then we will have Christiane Amanpour’s “God’s Warriors”
Christiane Amanpour takes you to the frontlines of a volatile battle where religion and politics collide.
