yuyutsu please forgive past comments, we all get it wrong, me too
I see in your comments things that explain much
Not saying I want it but if the planet had one relidgion and it was some thing like yours we could become a better planet
It baffles me to see so many claiming every one from any faith is,well evil unwanted here or should be banned
So very many contribute so much yet that is over looked
I can not pledge that in my view men are equal to the task of running this world with hundreds of differing governments ,some just ATMs for horrible dictators some in truth run by billionairs who buy politicians
And too think firmly some of us rush in to support leaders who intruth divide us all

I refuse to believe you truly think Labor is that far left
Belly,
I have worked alongside staunch Labor supporters and, let me tell you I was appalled at their selfishness & inconsideration for others. The worst were administrative staff in State departments. Having shared accommodation with teachers was another eye-opener.
Believe me it gives me no joy to state this !

In answer to Loudmouth-

I as you say that Africa is four times the land area of Australia and the US (population 300 M) is the same size as Australia and only 40% of the land area is usable (see below) and population is 1.2 B then Africa is probably twice as populated as the US is now over the usable land area. Also it doesn't benefit from US Tech, each woman produces an average of 7 children- this sounds like a disaster to me. However my facts may be wrong- please let me know your view Loudmouth.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Africa

Africa is the hottest continent on Earth and 60% of the entire land surface consists of drylands and deserts.[

In some African states, more than half the population is under 25 years of age.[113] The total number of people in Africa increased from 229 million in 1950 to 630 million in 1990.[114] As of 2016, the population of Africa is estimated at 1.2 billion [1]. Africa's total population surpassing other continents is fairly recent; African population surpassed Europe in the 1990s, while the Americas was overtaken sometime around the year 2000; Africa's rapid population growth is expected to overtake the only two nations currently larger than its population, at roughly the same time – India and China's 1.4 billion people each will swap ranking around the year 2022.[115] This increase in number of babies born in Africa compared to the rest of the world is expected to reach approximately 37% in the year 2050, an increase of 21% since 1990 alone

Found it truly amazing that someone should think Africans should drag a stick and plant food
They are after all said to be the birth place of man, and have been farming for centurarys
Drought,not lack of will,is behind repeated food shortages there
History showsonce fertil ground is nolonger able to grow food or suport human life in that huge contenent

African people might be able to feed themselves if they were able to stay on their land rather than fleeing the many armed conflicts fueled by religious and ethnic conflicts, territorial ambitions, corruption and authoritarian rule.

Answer- Many geopolitical, religious, ethnic wars and conflicts are fought implicitly for scarce resources- the basic cause appears to be essentially population related. One way of enforcing authoritarian rule is to control scarce resources.
