Gandhian observation kicks in, the one which states that the nature of the Means one uses will determine the eventual Ends==== Never heard that one before but it makes sense.

BTW, O/T I think much of the religious conflict comes down to how how the practice of that religion works in concert with contemporary times. The religions that have allowed people to practice and coexist in contemporary times seem to have avoided many of the upheavals we're experiencing in these times. Whether it is Orthodox Jews affixing tape to street lights (actually, a hot constitutional issue in the East Coast), Christian religion allowing both literal and evolving interpretation of scriptures, or the Tibetan monks traveling by airplane, the religions and religious leadership that allow folks to adapt to modern society appear to have weathered the changes in the 20th and 21st century best. It may not be a coincidence that the countries in the Pacific rim, particularly the ones who's religion and cultural backgrounds stress "harmony", have economies that have been growing strong recently. The religions that stress an eye for an eye seem to suggest a never-ending spiral of conflict and revenge. The religions that stress harmony and forgiveness may work better economically in this age of globalization. On a side note, any religion that takes 50% of their people out of the workforce while their economic competitors allow that group to work will lose economically, IMO.
