Does the tribal history of Muslims (Arabs)make them more conflict and violence prone and does their religion which has been violent and warlike for centuries make them more prone to continue warlike behavior? (hot tempers and high-flown rhetoric)

Well they are very much like the christians were for over a thousand years...
The only difference is that christians have evolved to work with contemporary, civilized society while the muslim culture is still stuck in the 1400s. They literally have progressed only in their technology. their behaviors, beliefs, and attitudes have remained fairly unchanged.
Also they are ruled by the Koran. If you ever read it you'll find that it is extremely violent and adamant in demanding war and death/destruction to non-believers. There are only a few (like 3-4) peaceful lines in the book and those have exceptions (i.e. killing women and children is forbidden - unless it's in self defense OR in defense of Islam).
So both the culture and especially the book promote war and destruction of everything towards the eventual conquering the world in the name of Islam. Christians have overcome this, but muslims haven't.

Did stealing and threatening the Pilgrim new land make them warlords to Britain, Did fighting of supremacy of their land make the Yankees and the Confederate warlords and better yet, was the peaceful Indian prone to conflict and violence when the white man kill their children, stole their land and left them on reservations.
Everything is reality. This was an agricultural state in iraq most people were farmers. The immorality of the middle east is the issue like it was in Vietnam. The land is the lifeline of their existence. The lifestyle is so different than US because at 14 everyone joins the army and they do community service - wear unifirmns, they carry guns and they are indoctrinated in perserving their land and their freedom. In US the Army is voluntary. The Koran is one the most beautiful piece of literature. Unlike the Bible that we picked up on Sunday, the Koran is a daily way of life. This is the mores and the virtues that are espoused, but the people have been fighting for over 200 years --tribal.

Yes, to some extent. We are all a product of our enviornment to a degree. If you were brought up to believe that it was okay to hit someone, you would probably be a hitter today. I don't believe that it is in any person's nature to be violent or warlike. However, human beings are born selfish and self absorbed. Some never get over that if they are not taught to behave otherwise. I know some Muslims that are as gentle and loving and quiet as anyone else. It all depends on the upbringing.

Not all Arabs are Muslims. If you really go back and look at history, Arabs were no more violent than anyone else, until Muhammad made up islam. He showed them all they could gain from war, slaves, woman, money, land and new followers. It's all about control, not God.
May God Bless you.

you need to understand Islam better, it does not teach violence. Some Muslims are violent but there numbers are very low, most Muslims are not short tempered or war loving. This includes Arabs or non Arab Muslims around the world, peace to you

well yes arabs are hot tempered and are proud but that does not mean islam promotes war or arabs like war . islam prohibits war and allows it when non muslims attack a muslim community . it is the western media which highlights that arabs like war . islam is a religon of peace . usa has been the root cause of all wars .

Hmm, how come a way of life like islam be war like when Islam basically means peace. Do yourself a favour, get a translation to the Koran and see for yourself that islam is really about peace.

Their nature has something to do with this yes.
Also, they are temperamental if they haven't developed strong reasoning capacities/mental faculties.
The Eastern man is therefore prone to be emotional, compared to his Western counterpart.
Making overly emotional decisions in the absence of a strong mind. Ofcourse this also states that there are very different arabs out there, who have developed higher mental faculties due to education and discipline.
