US Engagement with Religion in Conflict-Prone Settings

[marct]

Not to point fingers at Canada,

Oi vey! I wonder what twit came up with that! Thanks for the link, Ken, I hadn't seen it before.

just to interject that religion, politics and community intertwine -- and that in my observation, community outweighs both the other considerations as a lever to force action; the other two are often used overtly to justify the action which is covertly about advancing the community (or the dedicated and bitter part of it...).

Or some kinship group inside the community . No, I totally agree that that is very often the case.
