Conflict
For some reason, I have been bombarded lately with facebook posts from pro-Palestinian groups spreading every lie in the book about Israel. I'm not going to get into that mass of garbage, which is as deranged as Q-anon propaganda, but I would like to respond with this. What follows is a world map showing data from the Council on Foreign Relations. It shows the areas in the world they identify as global conflict hot spots. I have shown on this map in green the countries of the world which are predominantly or totally Islamic. The areas marked with little red explosions are ones where there is a conflict with a particularly Islamic character- either Muslims waging war on non-Muslims, or Muslim-on-Muslim violence, mostly of the Shiite vs. Sunni variety, as we see tragically in Yemen. The yellow explosions show conflicts without a particularly Muslim character. Out of 27 identified spots, there are seven current non-Muslim conflicts identified by the Council on Foreign Relations.
