Are there any religions or cults that you just do not understand? With in reason.

Religion didn't really solve things though. People still killed eachother, just sometimes they didn't kill people of the same religion. Religion didn't make a contribution to further differentiate between groups of people (the result being religious conflict).

Hence why I said humanity is just that sick.

Although I don't completely agree regarding not making a contribution to unifying the people. Like for example, Egypt was once one of our biggest enemies in history. I believe contemporary Egypt speaks for itself.

But we will never erase our animal instincts, no matter how hard we try.

Yeah, but what about your relationship with non-muslims? Religion works at unifying people on a local level, but it's certainly not what's gonna bring about world peace.

On a global level, we just have to keep relations with all countries based on mutual respect. I would support missionary activity as long as its goal is teaching about the peaceful nature of the religion, and keeping all radical elements (i.e. Political influence) OUT. While it's nice to have more people join the religion, they also must be real citizens of their country.

Only time will reveal the true enemy of humanity.

Of course, this is all my opinion. I personally don't try to convert people as I'm still educating myself more on Islamic texts.
