Summary/Abstract: The author states that many of the contemporary conflicts within the international arena have a religious ground, thus culture seems to be more important as an explaining factor than geopolitics and military balance in many circumstances. Religion by itself is not an engine of violent behavior, only its extremism forms and the tendencies of radical leaders to use it as a tool for their aspiration. Therefore, only moderate religious activities could ensure harmony and tolerance among nations.
