What in your mind is the biggest obstacle for peace?

The title question is one that is asked when creating a membership in the iPeace group. I chose Prejudice as my answer to this question. The reason for this is that many conflicts are the result of religious or political beliefs. The cure for prejudice is EDUCATION. Through education, people can be taught to respect all religions and beliefs. Respect does not mean that the person has to adopt that religion or belief. I feel that this group is in the position to educate, especially during this time of the year when there are many religious beliefs being practiced and celebrated. I hope that this is the goal of this group and that we will seek ways in which to establish peace through the resolution of conflict (education).

Respectfully submitted,
