religion no basis for Kashmir solution...

from indianexpress:
General says it: yes, religion no basis for Kashmir solution

In what could significantly - and pragmatically - push the peace process forward and alter the discourse on Kashmir, Pakistan President General Pervez Musharraf said tonight that given India's "sensitivities of its secular credentials," a solution to the Kashmir issue cannot be on a religious basis. Instead, it could be on a "people's basis, a regional basis."
this is a different stand point that has been taken by the Pakistani President. well though i do not know that this is a definite progress with the way things swing between us and our beloved neighbor.

but it does make me wonder where religion can be used as a basis... was religion the right reason for hitler to kill Jews? was religion the right reason to form Israel? was it religion the right basis to divide India and everything that followed? was religion the right reason for 1984(post Indira Gandhi)? was religion the right reason for whatever has happened in Kashmir? was religion the right reason for babri masjhid? was religion the right reason for Gujarat, 9/11? was religion a reason good enf for the Saudi laws? was religion the right reason for Taliban? or post Taliban? was religion the right reason even for the crusades/jihad? does a book, an idol, a belief give us enough reason to kill?

does that mean that religion should be putaway!?!?!?!!!! is there a problem in the concept of religion itself? or is it a problem with our interpretation of it? or is it a problem with our will to be always right? or maybe a problem in accepting difference? or is it just human nature that it will misuse what it possibly can?
or is it just me thinking too much since i have had an extended discussion on religion :)
