This is sure that third world war 2010 will be between Muslims and Christians, not for the teritory or power ?

Religion is just an ideological disguise.  Wars are always about territory and power.  The only reason that the US is in the Middle East right now is because this administration, following in the footsteps of the Reagan and Bush Sr. adiministration, has a serious comitment to creating and maintaining a US military stronghold in the Middle East.  Jimmy Carter laid it all out for the American people in an interview on NPR.  This "war" we are fighting is solely for maintaining economic and political control of an oil-rich territory.  The whole Isreal thing is a bogus excuse.  God will support the righteous--yeah right, what are you smoking.  According to the Bible, God instigated more wars than anything else.  He commanded massacres and genocide.  Isreal was formed, according to the Bible, because God commanded the Hebrews to kill all the Cannonites and take over their territory.  The modern state of Isreal was formed by the Allied powers after WWII because none of their countries wanted to take in all the Jewish refugees, so they picked their "historical" homeland, disposesed all the people already living their at that time and forcefully created a new state of Isreal.  Religion has always been and will always be an intricate screen to hide power-hungary facist regimes.  If people keep buying into the Bush administrations lies that we, a Judeo-Christian country that symbolizes all that is good are fighting Muslim countries because they symbolize all that is evil, the cycle of violence will perpetuate itself, and those people will only strengthen the ideological forces that promote this war.

Yes, I certainly do. If so, it will be a war against christianity.

No countries have done such things, groups within countries have done though.  For example, Islamic fundimentalists have waged war on western civilisation (not just Christianity I might add) but that doesn't mean all of the Middle East suddenly becomes an enemy.  Much in the same way, the Nazis were German but that doesn't mean all of Germany was an enemy during WW2, just the state that took presidence.

Most wars have been over land or political ideology.  Religion gets tacked on as an afterthought or an excuse to give the war an air of legitimacy when no other reason exists.  Very few wars have been soley over religion, although I do believe the current war is...whether western nations, ie christian, believe it or not....the islamists do.

Christianity as a whole has more blood on its hands than Islam does.

Very interesting question indeed!  I believe that the knee-jerk reaction to this question would be "no", however, when thinking about it more broadly--I guess ultimately the answer is "yes".  Perhaps this is the basis of "justified war" that religious organizations speak about.  A good example from recent history would be the horrific events of Nazi Germany, Rwanda & currently in Darfur & Congo.  Since  genocide was (is) happening, violence may be necessary--and then acceptable to put an end to the problem.

The 3rd WW will be different from the 1st and 2nd. It may already have started. Iraq fighting USA and its allies (most of the developed world) is one example. We could add in Afghanistan and Iran. Turkey is drawn into it because of the Kurds. The Russians are still fighting the Chechen's and others. Israel has been fighting its neighbours for 60 years. There are many battles going on in Africa. The Chinese, Koreans and Japanese are the not the best of friends. India and Pakistan have been fighting in Kashmir for years. The list is a long one. \nWhat is the third world war about: People use religion as an excuse but it is not religion. It is about ignorance and stupidity. The best example of this the USA.

Muslims want to run their country with the quran, not democracy. If the quran says to kill christians to get to heaven, thats what they will do.

The west is already at war with a small segment of Islam. The question is, will Islam go to war with itself and extinguish the radical element, or will mainstream Islam join the radicals.\n\nPeople should recognize that huge percentages of muslims are non practicing and don't even go to mosque. This is especially true in Europe where some estimates show 80% of the muslim population not really formally participating.

A more important rule:\nIf enemies attack or invade an islamic land, it is up to the muslims to fight and protect it.\n\nThe prophecy is true, no doubt, but we can't just sit there and do nothing.

It seems so. The USA with the blessings from Pope and the backing of the Zionist Jews has been raising almost a crusade and claims that it would last another 40 years. It seems that till the last Muslim is killed the UK/USA duo will not live in peace. Oil could be the immediate gain but the ultimate target is annihilation of the Islamic community. It is also written in the Quran that by 2011 the Islamic community may be finished. But we pray for peace and China will hit the last nail into the coffin!

I think that you are a bit too worried. I do not believe that that is happening in such a degree that we have to be worried. I know that if it starts it has to be stopped while it is possible, but I do not see how it can catch on to everybody else. Yes, there are political leaders who are willing to create policy based on religion, but I believe that the majority in power will successfully oppose those voices.\nIf it would happen, then it will be theoretically like an Islamic state. Of course, because of Christian morals are far less aggressive than Islamic morals it will not look like an Islamic state, but it is scary to believe that it is not like that just because of the morals.

they don't.  countries fight over power, over money, and over resources.  those who direct the fighting, who actually cause the wars, don't care about religion.  religion is just a convenient excuse for them to stir up hate and bigotry, which NO religion condones.

Muslims I am not certain about.  There is obviously no barrier for Christians since the vast majority of the world's Christains accept evolution.\n\nI don't think many Americans understand that outside of the US Bible-Belt nobody sees any conflict betwen Christianity and scientific thought. Go to England or Brazil or Ethiopia  and talk to Christains tehre and they consider it a complete non issue. Religion is religion, science is science and there is no conflict at all.\n\nThis percieved conflict is entirely a US phenemenon.

In general wars are becoming less and less.BUT the world is becoming polarized between Islam and non Islam .There is already a conflict between the Islamic and non Islamic world going on and this will esculate over the coming years into all out war ,by the end the world will either be a one nation islamic planet or Islam will be no more an issue than Nazis are in todays world

Neither for, nor against.\n1) no.  preemtive war on a sovereign nation is the opposite of Jesus' teaching.  not to mention internationally illegal.\n2) no.  i have mentioned in another post that GW doesn't believe in God, or at least his actions say so.  He doesn't trust that God will protect him from death and so he relies on secret service and armored vehicles rather than his god.\n3) Love the Lord your God with all your heart soul and mind, and the second is like it, Love your neighbour as yourself.  Pretty self explanatory.

they cant be both, they are either the one ,or the other ,it is Christians that are doing the bulk of the killing
