There surely is a religious component. But I doubt this is the major driving force behind the problems. Don’t be over zealous to point the finger at Islam. Just like every Serb claims the Balkans was about Islamic terrorists, these are often facades, and some who have a predisposition in believing certain things quickly jump on the bandwagon. While it is true that the majority of active terrorist groups in the world are Islamic, that religious tension mounts in near all countries where their population becomes significant, that most wars in some way involve an Islamic state either directly or through proxy (i.e. Iran in the Lebanon war in 2006), it is unlikely this is the cause of the problem here. It does not fit/make sense. It’s like the American liberal trying to claim that Iraq is another Vietnam; people sometimes try to “force” the shoe to fit, even though it doesn’t.
I don’t know enough to speak intelligently on this subject, so I’ll bug out; but I doubt this is a religious strife at its heart. It’s a good ole African tribal power grab (Uganda, Somalia, etc etc etc).
“There surely is a religious component.”
Agreed.
