    Israel is Muslims vs. Jews. Jews believe it to be their promised land as the bible says, and Muslims believe it their land as their prophet and his companions told them.

    You also have:

    The Balkans (Orthodox Serbians vs. Catholic Croatians; Orthodox Serbians vs. Bosnian and Albanian Muslims)

    Northern Ireland (Protestants vs. Catholics)

    Kashmir (Muslims vs. Hindus)

    Sudan (Muslims vs. Christians and animists)

    Nigeria (Muslims vs. Christians)

    Ethiopia and Eritrea (Muslims vs. Christians)

    Sri Lanka (Sinhalese Buddhists vs. Tamil Hindus)

    Indonesia (Muslims vs. Timorese Christians)

    Iran and Iraq (Shiite vs. Sunni Muslims)

    The Caucasus (Orthodox Russians vs. Chechen Muslims; Muslim Azerbaijanis vs. Catholic and Orthodox Armenians)

    These are merely a few cases in point.

    All the religions seem to be fighting against rationality. They're all slowly losing the battle as our species becomes more and more enlightened and lets go of this need to cling to an imaginary invisible supernatural 'friend' who is handy to blame for our failings and champion as a cause for our selfish ends.

    On the side of rationality and common sense are luminaries such as Dawkins. On the side of self-repressed denialism are the leaders of all the main theistic religions.
