Christianity and Islam
Conflict
The atheist Chinese government id destroying Tibetan Buddhist
monasteries, and overall trying to suppress the religion.
Islam prevails in the northern region while Christianity and local
religions prevail in the South. Lead to power based tensions for
government control
Sikhs in the NW state of Punjab demand autonomy from the Hinducontrolled government of India
Pakistan was established as a Muslim state in 1948. Pakistan and
India are fighting over territory called Jammu and Kashmir
In the Yugoslavian civil wars of the 1990s, Serb leader Slobadan
Milosevic tried to kill or evict the Muslim population in Bosnia and
the other Serbian controlled lands in the region
With its Muslim-Christian overtones risks escalating into sustained
violence along religious lines and spilling beyond the country’s
borders, further destabilizing the whole region
Though Muslims nationwide have been targeted, members of one
particular ethnic group, the Rohingya, have borne the brunt of the
violence. Many Buddhists view the Rohingya Muslims, who live
along the border with Bangladesh, as illegal immigrants, even
though many have been in Myanmar for generations.

Conflict
After the fall of the largely Sunni government controlled by
Saddam Hussein, both Sunnis and Shiites are warring for
control of the newly forming political landscape
Christians have conflicted in the US over political-cultural
issues such as homosexuality, evolution, and abortion. In
some cases, violent tactics have been used
British Colonialism deposited large numbers of Protestants
in traditionally Catholic Northern Ireland. Has caused violent
conflicts between the 2 groups in the regions
