Do You Think That If People Took the Just War

question 64

Essay

Do you think that if people took the just war theory and Islamic conditions for war seriously, war would be much less frequent? Or do you think that religions tend to justify war more than they limit war? Consider too, the possibility that many may use religious language to justify war even when the theology and ethics of any given religion may not, in fact, provide such justification.
