First of all, he's the editor of a local newspaper. Not to disparage him, but on what authority does he speak about global conflict. Second, I am not suggesting that Muslims have not caused a significant amount of violence, I'm just saying that globally, they are not the cause of MOST violence. And yes, I named several ongoing world conflicts in which Muslims were not involved (and just because Muslims are involved, does not necessarily mean it is their fault, just to be fair-although, also to be fair, they did start many if not most of them). I'll list those conflicts again, although this is not necessarily a full list: Colombia, Sierra Leone, Burundi, Sri Lanka, Cote d'Ivoire, DR Congo, Haiti, and Liberia. So, Mr. Lucas should do his homework. Look, the terrorists are trying to incite a holy war, WHY FALL INTO THEIR HANDS? FINGHT THE TERRORISTS, NOT EACH OTHER!

WOW! BIG WOW! How seldom to we get to see such a blatant example of both monumental hypocrisy and astronomical ignorance on one post!

Ah, so a "local" editor isn't good enough. Guess he wouldn't know how to find the sources of what he writes about.

Okay, didn't know that would be a problem.

Here's another source, maybe this will be better.

It looks to me like moslems are involved in quite a few of the conflicts on these 2 charts:
