This saddens me when I look at some middle eastern countries that believe that because someone else worships another god, that they are wrong and that gives them permission to hate them, and even go to war with them.

My question is this... Is there absolute right? Is it something that is easily definiable. In every situation, is someone going to be right and someone going to be wrong? How do we know who is right and who is wrong? What if the moral code you live by is different than someone elses moral code?</STRONG>
A few things are crystal clear "right" or "wrong" such as needless murder, stealing, and a few other things. Then there are decisions that are not crystal clear. There is no definite line between right and wrong, merely a very large blurry grey area. One such thing is "is it right to judge people on how they judge others?"
