Summary:
"There is a great difference between a war, being categorized as 'religious' and religion being politicized for the purpose of achieving a political goal. However it can at times be hard to tell the difference between the two. It can be especially hard to do so when the difference between 'pretend to be' and 'is' is obscured almost to a point beyond recognition. We analyze the mass production and use of counterfeit religious symbolism used for political purposes"-- Provided by publisher.
