There are many who take this view but I’ve never fully bought it as a genuine response. Any faith doesn’t magically change a person and an angry, murderous coward who accepts Christ or Islam or Budha becomes an angry, murderous, cowardly Christian, Muslim or Budhist unless they actively persue the change their faith offers by practice and discipline. Christianity is only involved in this particular war as it pertains to Islam. Did Americans Christians somehow provoke the attack? Christians responded in a very Christian way early on, praying, healing and helping but that changed as it became apparent that our enemy sought our destruction because of what we believed. Islam, at least the brand tragically imported here to the USA may be an exception as I have read an admonition in the Koran to murder anyone not of their faith. The two houses of Islam are the house of Islam and the house of war. Maybe someone else can respond that has a little better understanding. Religion becomes a focus of so much conflict because it is one of the very few things that we cannot bend on and still retain. If you are willing to allow your morals or your principles to be compromised in order to keep the peace, then peace means more to you than your principles and morals. When those morals and principles are believed to come from God or Allah or whomever, you choose to believe or to have peace when conflict comes.
