I assume you are joking. But if not, um no, not even close. And what is going on as "wars" is a completely different topic altogether.

No shit. Religious or otherwise, what continent doesn't have some sort of war going on? I'm sure even the penguins on Antarctica are out for someone.

My point was toward branding a religion based on a few. When there are 1.5 to 1.7 billion people, there is bound to be a certain percentage of people who are extremists. It's within every religion or organized group around the world. So to point to things like this "Ground Zero Mosque" and label it some kind of terrorist threat(by connecting it with 9/11 and some extremists) is obscene.

And if any of the big religions wanted to.. they could start a world war, not localized political/$ "wars".
