Notes

"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 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. In the volume one, we analyze the mass production and use of counterfeit religious symbolism used for political purposes. In volume two of this book we focus more on the actual practical application of the symbolyzm within the context of state, nation and faith: the use of counterfeit religious symbolyzm to blur the essential distinction between 'what is a real danger to a nation' and 'what is not'"-- Provided by publisher
