war of the worlds , war of the cultures , war of the religions or war of the political ideologies. Very little difference in my opinion . ISIS makes it easier for me to call it a war of religions as al quaeda , isis , al shabob and others plus the sharia that they practice makes it easy to see what the war is all about . All 3 that I mention are a mix of religion and politics because of the sharia law that they all practice . As a westerner I'm willing to keep Jesus out of the whole mess . isis is in the areas that its in because it wants a caliphate and I can understand that . He11 , I think that they had a caliphate for a long time [hundreds of years] and westerners took it away from them if I [halfway] know my history .
