It took hundreds of years for European Catholics and Protestants to arrive at a non-violent accommodation. (I’m discounting Northern Ireland, where evidently 16th century norms still hold). One would think that by now Sunnis and Shiites would also have learned to tolerate each other.
The irony is that people are killing each other over a non-existent deity. To those of us who are atheists, this is equivalent to killing each other over which X-Man is the best.
I am also fully aware that in parts of the globe--Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Kansas--I would be killed for writing the paragraph above.
(P.S.: It’s Wolverine.)
