In other words:

All belief systems have proponents who will tell, Islam being a great example, that Islam is a religion of peace, however when you study all the conflicts in the past fifty years, the vast majority have been inspired by people adhering to the Muslim faith.

So the question is never what you want to believe, rather what does a set of values induce within the human consciousness.

And for better or worse this is the truth:

As Winston Churchill said “How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property – either as a child, a wife, or a concubine – must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; all know how to die; but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science – the science against which it had vainly struggled – the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.”

Christianity as Winston Churchill correctly surmises, and as all great leaders, he was one who understood human nature, thus had the foresight to predict where Hitler’s Europe was leading to-: “Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science – the science against which it had vainly struggled…” In other words, Christian Europe / America etc. has undergone a fundamental shift away from fanaticism and its millennia inter-strife – their own jihad for God, or whatever, and has adopted a democratic notion which is why it has purged the evil of fanaticism from its bowels.

Judaism provides a highly systematic rigorous diet for the believer in which his duty to God and the wise laws of God in the Bible followed religiously for over three millennia provide a fortress against the bowels of ego and temper which invaded Christianity and still invades Islam.

Chassidus takes Judaism to the next level, for not only is man protected against his demons, but furthermore, we become God in his love for all that is sweet and kind, gets expressed!!!

What about secularism, i.e. people that are agnostic – unfortunately though most come from a Christian, hence Judeo-Christian ethic, coupled with the notion of democracy, ultimately, it feeds into man’s selfishness, and his ego begins to manifest in many virulent ways, hence the incredible amount of sleaze we see from these people, in terms of the media, politics, and all of it is done in a highly incongruent snobbish manner.
