Why is the world going to end in 2012?
Because the ancient Mayans predicted that as a prophecy- but it is likely it will not happen because scientists have calculated nothing will happen to the planet until it is engulfed by the sun a few billion years from now. The ancient Mayans possibly only predicted that 2012 was the beginning of a new era and not exactly the end of the world. For some reason, people just mistakenly think that they thought the world was going to actually end when that time comes.

Another Perspective:
Most of the wars on this planet are actually caused by religious conflict.
Christians vs Catholics, Muslims vs Christians, Christians vs Jews and so on.
Even the Second World War involved some form of religion. Adolf Hitler believed in the occult and that he could awaken dark forces from the afterlife to do his bidding. He even created a special task force given the objective of finding the spear which supposedly pierced the side of Jesus while he was being crucified, because Adolf believed it would bring him unlimited power.
Where Did the peace sign come from?
The whereabouts are truly unknown. It came way before that, war torn soldiers issued the symbol during Victory of Europe Day, VE Day, in 1945. If it was ever issued before that I am unaware, but the 1960's didn't have anything to do with it.
Designed for the Direct Action Committee Against Nuclear War by Gerald Holtom in 1958, this forked symbol was used as part of the British nuclear disarmament movement. It is a literal combination of semaphoric signals (visual signals with hand-held flags, often used at sea) for the letters N and D, which stands for "Nuclear Disarmament."
The symbol's first appearance was made among thousands of British anti-nuclear campaigners who set off on a 50-mile march from London's Trafalgar Square to the weapons factory at Aldermaston. By the 1960s it had become synonymous with the anti-war movement.
"Pax" is a Latin equivalent of "peace."

How can Jews and Islams bring peace together?
By the name of Allah the benefactor and most merciful
Peace be on his Prophet Muhammad and all Prophets sent before him to guide humanity to the true path, and peace on their followers too.
Dear Brother,
Islam is the Way of life (Deen) promoting peace and tolerance with believers of different religions.
The Prophet of Islam (peace be upon him) had started his statehood with a peace treaty with Jews of Medina, binding both to work for peace and strength of their City State. This peace agreement provided basis for the future peace agreements between Muslims, Jews and Christians.
This agreement has following clauses:
- Mutual respect
- Co-operation in Maintaining internal and external peace
- Right of Existence
- Respect of others' believes and religious duties
- Unity against internal and external enemies of peace
- Independence of business and travel
As these golden rules of co-existence were in very roots of Muslims, the history says that a large number of Jews lived under peaceful umbrella of Ummaid / Abbasiad and Ottoman Caliphates across middle east and central Asia for 1300 years away from the tortures and death threats of Christian fundamentalists.
They prospered in fields of business, science, services and even statesmenship.
This is the reason why till 1948, Jewish Communities with their peculiar way of living were thriving in every big city of Muslim world.
It is the right time for people from all faiths to come ahead, leave the greedy / shrewd annihilators of humanity to fight among themselves for this worthless world, and strive for the basic objectives of our lives taught by our prophets that is to appease our Allah / God and be successful and go in his paradise.
Hanif
The speaker seems to say that they will not give up hope that peace, acceptance, tolerance, love, and all things to bring humankind together can be achieved. They will not simply take on the view that men and women are forever destined to be racist toward one another and that war is an inevitable part of our lives. The starless midnight represents the darkness we are all trapped in and roaming through; we are without sight and guidance. The bright daybreak represent us making it to a new day with light; we are able to start anew.
What religion does peace symbol come from?
No religion; it's a simplified representation of the semaphore (old flag code) for "N" and "D," standing for "nuclear disarmament." It was initially displayed in protests of US nuclear submarines stationed in Britain, but it caught on for a more general meaning.
There is a Rune, "Elhaz/Elwaz reversed," which looks very similar, but this is coincidence.

(New International Version)
What are the fundamentals for peaceful living?
The fundamentals for peaceful living are tolerance and equality.
Muslims were never aggressive in their wars. They are commanded by Quran and prophet Muhammad (PBUH) teachings not to kill any civilian, not to kill or rape a woman, not to kill the old, or a child, or to cut a tree. They are ordered to fight only who fight them. They never enslaved any conquered enemies but are always tolerant and forgiving. They believe, per Islam teachings, that no compulsion in religion; so they never forced people to convert to Islam.

What are the origins of the noble peace prize?
The Nobel Peace Prize is one of the five Nobel Prizes bequeathed by the Swedish industrialist and inventor Alfred Nobel. The awards were established in 1895 by the Swedish chemist Alfred Bernhard Nobel, the inventor of dynamite. There are more than 300 peace prizes in the world. None is in any way as well known and as highly respected as the Nobel Peace Prize.
When Alfred Nobel died on December 10, 1896, it was discovered that he had left a will, dated November 27, 1895, according to which most of his vast wealth was to be used for five prizes, including one for peace. The prize for peace was to be awarded to the person who "shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding of peace congresses." The prize was to be awarded "by a committee of five persons to be elected by the Norwegian Storting."
While there was a great deal of controversy surrounding Nobel's will in Sweden and that of the role of the designated prize-awarding institutions, certainly including the fact that the rebellious Norwegians were to award the Peace Prize, the Norwegian Storting quickly accepted its role as awarder of the Nobel Peace Prize. On April 26, 1897, a month after it had received formal notification from the executors of the will, the Storting voted to accept the responsibility, more than a year before the designated Swedish bodies took similar action. It was to take three years of various legal actions before the first Nobel Prizes could actually be awarded.
