http://www.religionfacts.com/ This is the best religious site I have ever seen. What a wonderful way to come to understand history and how we got to where we are today, and to contemplate what the world might look like when there is no more oil.
We must understand the divisions of Islam if we are to understand the violence and why we can not just walk out of Iraq now. Islam is not one religion, any more than Christianity is one religion. To complicate matters, Arabs and Persians do not like each other, but they are joined and divided by different Islamic groups.
A note to Christians, Jesus said we should know our enemy, and only by pursuing this study of religions, and especially Islam. Arabs and Persians, are you obeying what Jesus told us to do.

Perhaps someone will correct me if I am in error, but the pharasees were those who believed in the bible word for word, and who were Jewish people. So if we study we would become like the pharasees who belived in litteral words in books. Needless to say the scribes and pharasees were not Persians, nor Arabs, nor folks from other then the Jewish faith.
Hope you do not mind my mentioning thise.
