Bing/Google search “civil wars in the world” and determine where they are being fought; then research each civil war and determine who is fighting in them. The results are startling: 90% of the them involve one combatant-religion -- Islam.

Muslim extremists fight in China, Russia, Bosnia, Cyprus, Macedonia, Israel, Pakistan, India, Indonesia-Ambon & Halmarhera, Côte d'Ivoire, Kashmir, Algeria, Mauritania, Morocco, Tunisia, Sudan, Ethiopia, Kosovo, Bosnia, Kurdistan, Kirghizia, Nigeria, Philippines, Somalia, Turkey, Chechnya, Sudan, Yemen, Thailand, Uganda, Azerbaijan, Mali, Chad, Libya, Bangladesh, East Timor.

It therefore should not surprise us when we read news like this:

-3/11/10 Deutsche Presse, Thailand: Muslim separatists have caused 4,000 people to die in clashes, bombings, revenge killings and beheadings in the troubled region, which borders Malaysia. Of the 300,000 Thai Buddhists who lived in the region, 70,000 have left since Muslims started the civil war in 2004.
