Oxymoron

Holy War is an oxymoron because there are not many wars that are provoked by religion. The Cold War, the World War I and World War II are not about religion, along with the Vietnam War. A reason I would say that Holy War isn't an oxymoron is because of 911. Osama attacked the USA because of a religious purpose. Darfur is another example of a "Holy War" because they are fighting for religious beliefs. I don't think that Holy War is an oxymoron is in all the cases. Holy War basically means that you will get appreciated for starting that war or the war that you wont get looked down upon for starting it. It is also true that most religions condemn violence, but it is also true that you should defend your religion. No matter how big or small the war, if people are religious, they will do anything to defend it.
