After the passing of the founders of these religions, the followers violated the teachings of the founders and quarelled among themselves on account of their selfish interests. With the passage of time, schisms developed in each religion and separate sects were formed. This is the result of individual, selfish motives and not the fault of the original founders. Today religion is regarded as the cause of all conflict, violence, and bitterness in the world. But, religion is not the cause.
Selfish minds are responsible for all the conflict.
People in Iran and Iraq profess the same Islamic faith. When we examine this question deeply, we find that religions are not the real reason for these conflicts. Only selfish minds are the cause. Wearing the garb of religion, selfish persons are inciting conflict among the people. It is a mark of ignorance to consider one religion as superior and another as inferior and develop religious difference on this basis.
