Hizgrl wants the fighting to stop.

Author's Note: I did not write this article to offend anyone or any religion in the world. I'm just expressing my opinions here.

It seems like everyday, fights break out because of religion differences. If you have a religion you're really devoted to, it would be really upsetting if someone tried to influence you into their beliefs. What if you disagree with someone's way of life? Would you want to tell them that it's stupid to believe in those things?

Some people tend to be discriminated against people who don't think the way they do. Therefore, they insult the beliefs of the other person. If there's something I've learned in life, it's that fighting about this kind of stuff is pointless. Sure, it can be hard to stand someone who talks about something you don't like, but think about it. If you try to talk someone out of their religion, they might just fight back. Then, you start telling them that it's just pointless to sit there and worship a certain god they're worshiping. When you fight fire with fire, all you get is a bigger fire. The chance of them changing their mind will be one in a million.

Author's Note: I will attempt to do all of the continents for my new series, "Continental Curiosity". So, to start off my series I will explain Africa in different ways, and its features.

The river actually flows into the LARGEST lake in Africa, Lake Victoria, to which is also the world 2nd largest Salt-Water lake in the world. In Tanzania, they have a large mountain called, Mount Kilimanjaro, which runs up over 19,000 feet. Cairo, located in Egypt would be Africa's standing biggest city with 9.2 million people. WOW! Lastly, the Sahara desert expands 1/2 a mile a month, which is also a problem due to less grassland.
