JERUSALEM â€"Israelis and Palestinians expressed fear Wednesday that their decades-old conflict was moving beyond the traditional nationalist struggle between two peoples fighting for their homelands and spiraling into a raw and far-reaching religious confrontation between Jews and Muslims.

The threat â€" perhaps more accurately the dread â€" of an incipient but deadly “religious war” was expressed by Muslim clerics, Christian leaders and Jewish Israelis one day after a pair of Palestinian assailants, wielding meat cleavers and a gun, killed five Israelis, including a prominent American Israeli rabbi, in a Jerusalem synagogue.

“All of us are scared that there will be a religious war, that extremists from both sides will start fighting each other,” said Oded Wiener, an Israeli Jew from the Council of Religious Institutions of the Holy Land.

And the irony is that this type of extremism makes people look at the dark side of religion and will cause more to turn away from it. Extreme actions by the religious in every aspect ultimately convinces people to abandon it.

I'm a liberal at heart, but it can be dangerous in politics, that been over backwards to be nice. Carter was being nice to Cuban refugees, and it came back to bite him when Castro made a point to send all the people here that were unfit for a civilized society, most being criminals.

See? That's the problem with you liberal types. You're just not willing to kill enough people for no good reason.

I'm still not sure if any of their neighbors would want an escalation as Israel has enough nukes to turn the middle east into fields of glass. I doubt Israel would feel too bad about it either.

Decades-old conflict? Isn't it more like hundreds and hundreds of years?

Why do I get the feeling that all of this could be solved via a video game marathon?

Just sit down the best gamers from either side play a zombie apocalypse game? What better way is there to resolve differences than fighting undead with limited food, weapons, and shelter?

Mark my words, video games could be the answer.

exactly, this thing has always been one bad circumcision away from a full blown war.
