More than likely A. I would give A 70% and B 30% in probability.

All wars have been fought over political reasons....but those in political power have always used religion, economics, or other aspects to cover up the real reason they fight the war (power). A wise Hindu teacher I got the priveldge of hearing once said once that we, all of us whether we belong to a religious tradition or not, have to be careful to watch for those that will abuse religion for purposes such as giving themselves more power, wealth, and feed their ego. If one looks through the pages of history and studies the vast number of wars it seems that the aspect of religion is only thrown in by leaders when they realize that people have no desire to fight their wars. When religion is thrown into the mix such as leaders declaring that another religion has declared a war on their own religion or that another religion seeks to keep those of their own religion out, etc....we see a mass mobilization by the masses of one religion. Then, in turn, once the war begins the other people of the other religion in turn start trying to figure things out from within their own religions and their leaders in turn start stirring up sectarian violence. And yet in the end all these folks are fooled by the leaders....the violence and war isn't about the religion and neither religion declared war on the other...the leaders who are vying for power declared war on each other and now have convinced all those they lead to fight the war for them (thus boosting their ego and giving them even more power and most likely also gaining wealth from the other leader).

A and B, with the Muslims trying to disrupt the economies of the nations they are infiltrating. It will probably start in Europe first, but it could just as easily happen here, given the numbers of people who are tolerant of Islam's intolerances. Political Correctness will be our ultimate undoing.

b
There are a lot of religious tension in world, but that will not be the cause. All wars have always been related to the economy.

I'd say religion, it seems to be an under lying factor in most wars through out history

I think the biggest war ever fought will be over access to unpolluted water sources. My personal opinion on the direction in which we are going.

A - Religion!
The theists will kill all the atheists - or so I've heard a lot of them say (Muslims, in particular... Christians too).

b. economy
Most wars are about economics masked by religion. I guess it makes us feel better about killing for economic gain.

b, with a as an excuse. Protests will follow, alliances will form, and it will quickly lead to c.
