If these were the only problems the middle east had it would be a huge step up

Yep, just like how Europe will never manage to find peace due to the schismatic nature of Christianity.

I'm talking about the literal definition of Christian which is a Follower of Christ. Obviously Catholics would not agree but they are biased here and don't get to determine who is and isn't. Actually yes they do, I didn't invent the term Pauline christianity Pauline Christianity - Wikipedia...
