Why Jihadi Wars Do Not End And Religious Freedom

When there was war against Nazis, it was a war also against the entire ideology of the Nazis. The United States and allies did not go to war with the understanding that Nazi rights would be protected, and that the ideology of hate, violence, supremacy and intolerance that led to the war would be allowed to flourish. All the jihadist groups that are drenching the world in blood are funded by regimes rich in oil wealth far removed from the terror and bloodshed they support and help create. 

Everyone should be free to choose and practice the religion of their choice, or to reject religion. One person's religion is often superstition to another. The right to believe what one wants to believe does not include the right to act violently against those that believe differently, or the right to act violently against those that challenge or refute the ideas and beliefs of those that do believe. There must be freedom of religion for all, which includes the right to reject, criticize, change religion or leave religion.

As long as there is the acceptance of religious ideologies that promote hate, violence and intolerance, religious wars and violence will never stop.  

Mozambique joins the list of nations in which the blood of innocent people are being spilled by violent jihadists. Those who fund the jihadists groups, those who support them, want the blood to flow, even when it is Muslims that suffer the most. From Mindanao to Gaza, from Mozambique to Nigeria, from Afghanistan to Yemen and thousands of other places, jihadis make sure the blood flows. If there is never an accounting for those that support them, of those that fund them, of the ideologies and beliefs that drive them, then no matter how much they are opposed in war, there will be no end to the bloodshed and misery.
