Religious Resurgence

When we were first asked to write down all of the religious conflicts we could think of, it took awhile for our group to get started. Then, as we started listing one after the other it became clear that religious resurgence and conflicts have affected all seven continents, minus Antarctica of course. This brings me back to the chapter of Panipur in which Roy tried to blame the riots on something other than religion. How can anyone say that religion is not involved? Something that has touched the majority of countries should really get more recognition and should be communicated to others. I agree with Lauren that more knowledge is needed or all religions in order to at least try to respect those that we don’t understand. Without this mutual respect, religious resurgence will never end.
