I am a health care professional of many years. My colleagues and myself are always saddened by intentional violence. A major concern is the compulsion that mankind has had to wage war throughout history. Violence between religions defies logic as most religions have philosophies of peace. The Islamic scholars also teach peace. But is seems that peace is only for those who hold the same beliefs as those taught by the Islamic scholars. The scholars teach the Koran. There are parts of the Koran that have had me troubled and have made me have doubts that peace between Islam and any other religion is possible. I specifically point out that in the Koran, Chapter 8:12-8:19, it indicates dire consequences against any non believer without regards as to whether that non believer means any harm to the people of Islam. I wish that people of all faiths have a healthy, peaceful and Happy New Year and that we all find a long and lasting peace. Jeff
