Should Christians and Muslims duke it out on their own planet?

This is a question I have been asking myself this week while I am reading the news and watching people flee Syria. My first reaction of course is sympathy, because I am human and I am watching humans flee for their lives and risk their lives in doing so, in the hopes they find a better life. My second reaction when I see how "certain countries" react and build walls, because they are a "christian country" that rejects Muslims, just makes me angry. Unfortunately, I have not yet worked out all my bitterness from own upbringing (as a christian) to be above that kind of thinking. Instead, I spiral down into the idea that this is their war (Christians and Muslims) and if they can't get along and treat each other as the humans they are, with the same basic desires. And find a way to evolve their behavior respectably, (which I have only seen in Agnostics/Atheists, that's the we I mention) then they all need to be shipped to their own d@mn planet where they can kill each other off and the rest of us can continue to evolve.

Yes, I understand that is an extreme opinion. And I am in NO WAY PROMOTING THE KILLING OF OTHER PEOPLE. I hate it. But don't you get sick of it sometimes? All the immaturity, the inability to grow or think outside of the box because they are literally caught in some battle that broke out over offenses taken literally THOUSANDS of years ago. Like come on already, its time to grow up!

Then again maybe we should be the one's to leave and let them rot....

But I do believe that this "battle" (which is still very real for me because ALL of my family are Christians and the subject of the apocalypse is often forced into my face) between each party is really holding the rest of us back as a planet. It makes me angry and it makes me sad!

I know that I have over-simplified the situation in my statements, and I come across as cold, but it bothers me! It bothers me so much because since I was a child I would stare up at the stars and become breathless by the wonder of our planet and sky beyond it. I knew even though I had no understanding of the complexities of science that there are wonders out there that we can't even imagine! Potentials we can't even conceive of. From the shape, form and function of the tiniest cells and atoms to the biggest black-holes and gas giants that could swallow our entire solar system and everything in between. Even levels of conscious and superior beings that have had millennial to evolve beyond what we can see. I know more than anything else in this world or even in my very being, that all that exists out there somewhere in the stars, just waiting for us children to discover it. And yet we are stuck down here watching others forcing starvation and pain upon each other. That's why I get angry, why I am cold when I say they should kill each other off. Not because the pain of death doesn't register for me or what it means for a life to be taken. But it is out of the fear that we (my generation) will never see peace and a true leap in information happen due to millions of people being dedicated to science and discovery. I also question this because I believe the purpose of each generation is to shake of the dead cells of ignorance and hardening of the brain of the older generations (that is not an absolutism statement) to embrace new realities and theories with fervor and a fearlessness that only comes with the wide-eyed youth of the next generation. I don't see that happening. I don't see progress. But perhaps my environment has shaped my own reality in a way that is time for the generation after me to embrace the freedom from religious conditioning and step into destiny.

    FDR made a decision to incarcerate the Japanese Americans because on December 7 while attacking Pearl Harbor, the Japanese "civilians" in Manila , Philippines put on their Japanese uniforms and took over the city.

    The real problem is with the Muslim Sharia law. Because it allows Muslims to lie to infidels. So who can believe them when they take and oath of citizenship? Or anything else they say.
