Problems we are labelling as "Muslim" and "Christian" are really more cultural than religious.

Iran and Iraq, two Islamic nations, fought for a decade and killed over 4 million of each other with bombs, gas and probably nerve agents.

Shi'ite and Sunni are at each others throats worse than the Orange and the Green ever were in Iran.

People are beheaded publically and have hands chopped off (sharia law) in Saudi Arabia.

The religious burning of Tudor times and the Salem Madness show that we are not far off the same. We like to think we are non-violent and civilised, but it's all just a veneer.
