		<description>Grandad,

I didn&#039;t miss the point at all. I just said that you blame everything on religion. Prove me wrong! And that we are pre-programmed to &quot;take sides&quot;.  There are lots of cases when conflict has arisen where it HASN&#039;T been religious in origin. However, I do concede that the majority of long lasting &quot;hate&quot; wars are because of religion. It&#039;s funny that we can get over a war about skin colour in a single generation, but religious differences don&#039;t seem to fade that quickly. It&#039;s like being of an ethnicity is not as deeply rooted as being of a religion. How strange.

I don&#039;t know if your idea is going to work. In Israel they have Muslim towns and Jewish towns. Totally seperated. They don&#039;t even mix within Israel. Nevermind if they made it one country.

Also, if you talk to Doris, she&#039;ll tell you the jews have &quot;taken over&quot; their part of london. But then there is probably also a china town so.....</description>
