What was Satan's purpose in this event? One of the ways in which he will achieve a result in this will be to unite the term religion with murder and mayem. In the mind of his followers and the gullible, religion of any kind is all the same and this will convince them, (and help them convince others) that religion is for the deranged demented and insane.
The Liberals add to this confusion by telling us that Christians and muslims are united in Abraham and worship the same God.
"Both groups are monotheists. They believe in one God, one God who is a sovereign Lord and to whom they are to be obedient. For both faiths, God embodies what's ultimately important and valuable. If our understandings of God clash, it will be hard for us to live in peace—not impossible, but hard. So exploring to what extent Christians and Muslims have similar conceptions of God is foundational to exploring whether we inhabit a common moral universe, within which there are some profound differences that can be negotiated, discussed, and adjudicated." (Miroslav Volf. Prof of Theol. Yale)
Satan is busy planting seeds too. In this he prepares the world for the (very) end times.
