Is this world facing crusade WAR?

I think its a culture war.  Between people who want some freedoms and people who want to have their religion control the functions of government.\n\nIt's not just some guy flying a plane into a building, its the people who blow up the abortion clinics.\n\nSo its this fringe of religion, both Christian fringe and Muslim fringe, that the rest of us are trying to eliminate not only militarily but politically.\n\nA Crusade War would have to be where one Army lines up against another Army,  and the one side is one religion and the other side is different.  \n\nThis is a culture war, between extreme fringe religion, and the mainstream.

To all things there is a season upon the earth, including war and peace.  Fortunately, we are now entering a time in history of great enlightenment and peace.  It may take a few generations, but it's inevitable.\n\nIf you want peace, work for justice for your fellow man.  That means people on the other side of the planet who may have a different religion.  We can all agree to covenant to One All Highest Creator to give up war and violence, at every level.

I believe it is a religious war. Evangelical Christians, most anyway, are intolerant of other religions.

Not yet.  We will be once our demands outstrip our resources.  Then it will be like the Dark Ages in Europe when many will die from pestilence and war.  After that, there will be more resources available per person than there has been in a long time.  There will be what can only be considered a new Renaissance.

There is and has been for over 200 years a cultural war between the East and the West.\n\nThe conflict is ideological (the current war is an escalation) and is between two competing moralities:  Rational Self-Interest (selfishness) and Altruism (selflessness).  \n\nYou'd better hope and pray that selfishness wins, because it's rival (the morality of Altruism) is responsible for the worst of mankind's history (wars, mass murder, political oppression, etc.).

Wars have been happening out there for 1000's of years.  I don't think anything the UN do will stop it.

Even though I support the war I would have to say the answer to your question is no. There is strife in many locations in the world, but we appear to be very selective about where we take action. I do not think that it can be denied that if oil is concerned it plays a major factor. Because oil is vital to our national economy it becomes what is termed as a vital national interest. If our actions were purely altruistic then we would be taking action against genocide in Africa, but we are not. Anyone who believes that oil is not at least in part a factor is deluding themselves, but I for one have no problem with wars for oil. I drive a car, I like electricity and I use rubber and plastic products. At least wars for resources make sense where  as wars of ideology usually do not.

Neither, do not you know by now War is not the answer?  Why can not we learn from history?   No one Wins We all lose. Peace on earth, good will toward men.  Are we destined to repeat the same mistakes since Abel and Cain?, No it doesn't have to be.  But according to Bible yes, even in the last days, there will be wars and rumours of wars.  Whew!!! All the turmoil gets old.

No. Christians are supposed to love their enemy. Thus christians would never go to war with anybody. But the same could not be said of Islam. They seem to have a lot of people who believe by attacking the U.S they could get rid of christians.

Crusades, Holocaust, Inquisition, War in Iraq, Witchtrials, converting starving Africans and giving them AIDS, throwing your children on the streets, hatred, rape, slavery in the Civil War era, the Knights Templar, animal abuse and neglect, most of the worlds problems are attributed to christianity

i dont know if your a religious person, and im sorry if your not, but from what ive heard from the bible and stuff is that there is war to make the world go on. and in the bible it says when there is peace, and all war has stopped, that will be the end of the world. so if you think about it, war is aactually a good thing. i hope that helped. and again, sorry if your not a religious person. it some times offened religious people when others talk about god and the bible. so, sorry.

No, but I bet you wish we were in spiritual warfare.\n\nThere can only be theological warfare. The spirit is the absolute antithesis of warfare.

I doubt it.  What could stoke the fires of passion in a holy war more than fighting against the inevetable?  Most Americans don't seem to realize that is how they see this.  In their eyes, they're not "evil-doers."  The way they see it, they are trying to save the rest of the world from us.  If you saw yourself on the side of the righteous rebels, would YOU ever give up?

yes.\n\nThis is actually not a very new thing.  'The West' has been fighting with Islam for over a thousand years.  The only time this ever stopped was when the west was fighting Communism and Facism for 70 years in the 20th century.\n\nThe people that believe that 'all war is bad' are the people that are causing the west to sleep at the wheel on this issue.  All war is NOT bad -- World War 2 was NOT bad, that was a good war.  The Napoleonic wars against France were NOT bad wars.  The US Civil War was EXTREMELY bloody, it was also innevitable and it was by and large a necessary war.

As long as humanity exists, as long as the process of development goes on, as long as the quest for survival and the urge for superiority exists, wars will go on. No one knows about the third world war, but the fourth world war shall be fought be sickles and stones. We are really near to the Third World War.

As long as there are religions, there are wars against countries.\n\nIf there were no religions, the wars would be of a more honest kind.\n\nnow there`s christians declaring wars for "democracy" in the name of god.\nIt would make a slight difference in honesty, if a president or nation would just say "we want your oil, period"\n\nreligion is a shield for real intentions.

I say it's a civil war. In my view its a religious war that has been going since the birth of Cain and Abel. We cannot solve it and will never solve it until Christ returns. Blood will be shed and peace will not come in that place. May God be with us all.
