Re: You've gotta admit, a huge percentage of the world's "hotspots" and border disputes involve Muslim countries neighboring non-Muslim countries or Muslim regions inside of secular countries...

I admit that the whole squall line(*) that delineates Judeo-Christianity from Islam is dotted with "flashpoints" but then, you could turn your argument the other way round and say that "a huge percentage of the world's "hotspots" and border disputes involve Judaic/Christian countries neighboring Muslim countries or Muslim regions inside of Christian countries (as in the Balkans).

Besides, Muslims don't enjoy a monopoly over internecine wars: just think of Northern Ireland (IRA,...), Spain and its Basque minority, not to mention the US itself which is on the brink of becoming a full-fledged theocracy...
