What Most Global Conflicts Have In Common

Independent Conservative, a black blogger, writes: "Our world has lots of violent conflicts going on in various places. But as Michael Savage points out, the vast majority of the conflicts on our planet involve Muslims. His list only mentions some of the conflicts with Muslims, but when you think of all the conflicts on our planet, you have to admit that most involve Muslims. You know, people who claim Islam, the so-called religion of peace. Yes there are some Muslims that say they are against the violence, but they seem to have little influence. On top of the fact that the Muslims who embrace violence have far more evidence in the Koran and life of Muhammad to support their position and they claim to follow 'pure Islam'. Fools like Elton John claim they would like to do away with religion, but there is only one cult religion I can think of that has a large number of followers who openly desire to kill gays like him, Islam. What other religion in the world has courts that are openly ruling to kill gays in 2006? None. Islamists are at the root of most of the world’s conflicts and it’s time the world admit it. And now in a part of Somalia, Muslims who fail to pray 5 times a day might be killed. There have already been calls for Christians in Somalia to be killed and they’ve been the target for violence."

My response: This is not a new thesis, as political science Samuel Huntington has long made the same argument. While many of the world's conflicts involve Muslims, I have seen no empirical evidence showing most of the world's conflicts involve Muslims. E.g., what about conflicts in various parts of Africa, which are not well encompassed on Michael Savage's list?
