When you see how the area is divided by religion it makes more sense?

Question

I went into encarta and found the religon for each country.
then it all seemed to make more sense, they fight those who don't believe like they do. Or is it about the oil?

Here is a run down of the regions that have Islamic religions
Syria comprises 73% Sunni Muslim
Iran comprises 83% Shiite
Turkey comprises 97% Sunni
Saudi Arabia 89% Sunni
Pakistan 75% Sunni 25% Shia
Afghanistan 84% Sunni
Iraq 60 % shia 40 % Sunni
Druze
Kruds Sunni

Different clerics professing god’s direction
Hezbollah
Hamass
Fatah

Answer 1

Hamass ,Fatah and Hezbollah are all gangs working to control the political power by name of the God .Trust me look at their History that is full of blood and god has nothing to do with them.I think what Arab countries need is the education and democracy.

Answer 2

i think you are right about number 2. it is all about oil on all sides. this is including the west. religion is just being used as a distraction. you forgot to mention christians in these countries as well. why do people fight for power of a nation? for the benifits that come along with control over land. right now oil. before diamonds and gold. in another time it was for new land to call their own so they could make laws suitable for what they believe in. nothing more. with money comes power and control. this is the way of man and man's evil intentions.

Answer 3

Are you asking if we should divide the area by religion, giving each group a section for their own? It might work, as long as the shared sacred shrines were somehow managed for the safe use of all.

Answer 4

this is a great idea but I think its a bit more complex. We very likely work this angle as much as possible but just like Protestants vs Catholics. You couldnt likely say the US is protestant based on numbers because you have big regional differences between say southern baptists and say Metropolitan Community Church.
