I submit that their war is not about religion, country, nation, tradition, or ethnic identity - it is primarily about a few people who have separated themselves from the larger world given to us every changing day, who are extremely fearful of change, and therefore who are extremely hateful when seeking to retain or gain control through use of violence and threats over those that in turn fear them. It is a war as old as humanity. It is between those who adapt to the evolving new ways and those fear the loss of the old ways. It is about our species' evolution versus its devolution - about increasing unity versus increasing separation. The only thing our Nation, the world, and our species need fear is the fear itself.
Fear is the primary instrument of evil.
Evil is the belief by a person or group that they are separate from other persons, and their actions based on that belief.
