Depressing even.

Why Westerners don’t understand the Iran – Israel conflict
It's about strong religious beliefs

Islam, Something from the news

I heard someone on the news talking about the “decades old conflict between Iran and Israel”. The current conflict between Israel and Iran may be only decades old, but the conflict between Islam and Judaism has been going on almost since Muhammad’s visions.
