The question is how those how are suffering as the result of war- those
innocent civilians who are caught up, bombed, see their children killed,
have their livelihood taken away- keep their faith in God. For many of
them their faith is tested. But they too are able to say that war is man
made, and they blame the men- and the countries- who brought the war in
the first place.

There are two additional questions here. First, do
women keep or lose their faith in time of war differently from men? I do not
know the answer to this, but I suspect that there may be considerable
differences here. Second, does the hatred of the perpetrators, both the
individual soldiers and the countries concerned, make people's faith
angrier, and less thoughtful? Again, I suspect so, but we do not know.

The last question is how people caught in civil war, war with their
neighbors and previous friends, often across ethnic divides, keep any faith at
all? How does the Bosnian Muslim, formerly friends with a Serbian Christian,
renew that friendship? How do the Darfuris keep faith with God after all
that has happened to them at the hands of their own countrymen and
government? How do they keep faith with humanity, more than how do they
keep faith with God?
