Shia hate Sunni, Arab muslims hate Kurd muslims who hate Turkish muslims who hate Palistinian muslims. and there would still be those christians in Lebanon who would still be attacked. Also Shia and Sunni groups have infighting too; about how devout they are, and what exactly Mohammed said and did. They have been fragmented for about 1000 years, in the 1000s Ozman of the Ottomans entered the muslim world with his mid-asian hordes. Then after about 500 years the Ottoman Empire Conquered all of Arabia, Turkey, Pursia, and most of the Balkans and Muslim Africa bringing relative peace(rebellions and crime still present) to the middle east(now remember these are Turks not Arabs). eventualy after a further 500 years the Ottman Empire became decrepit and unable to control the insane Arabs, so when it became involved in WWI Britain just gave it a firm push, and it went away. The Arabs just created their own seperate nations and used them to fight each other(the palistinians had their own country for like a month, and then Syria took them over) so after the rest of the world finished WWII the muslims were in bad shape, which led to America and Great Britain moving in to make coherent borders(this required trust) but when the US and UK thougth they would kill two birds with one stone by giving the palistinians their own country and using the unsettled land to make Israel the palestinians decided they wanted it all and fought the Israelis-who crushed them the Arabs started not liking the 'West'. And so now the Arab's hate for Jews make them attack Israel to help the Palestinians-who the Arabs hate less.
