If you think modern Zionism is about religion in anything but name, or that Palestinian nationalism is about Islam in anything but name, what you believe is even more questionable than what they believe.

If all religion vanished overnight, the same people would be fighting over the same land with many of the same arguments, but something else substituted for the religion.

Tribalism knows no borders.

this is not about me, and my beliefs are my own to judge

but something else substituted for the religion.

I agree, but when you live in country far away from that conflict zone, and you see this kind of hate towards people who have nothing to do with it... you know it's about ideology saying it's not about religion is the same thing as saying: it's Ok to let a harmful teachings keep spreading.. why not debunk the hell out of it ? and worry about the next issue later... you can't deny Religion's role ... It's one of the biggest factors ... Explain to me why Abu Abaida starts his speeches by doing Basmala, or why this guy doing a protest is screaming Allahu Akbar..

Ideology is the core of tribalism, I didn't say it's the only factor
