Religion of Peace targets Buddhists

“This land must be separated between Muslims and the nonbelievers. This land must be liberated, and an Islamic system must be its foundation,” warned a leaflet recently distributed in the south that the Thai military showed to reporters.
“This is a land of war that is no different from Palestine and Afghanistan,” said the leaflet, signed by an obscure jihadist group known as the Islamic Warriors of Pattani State.
“This land is not the land of the Thais, but the land of Fathoni Darulsalam,” it said, using an old Arabic name for the mainly Muslim region of southern Thailand.
Other fliers instruct Muslims not to buy or benefit financially from lands abandoned by Buddhists, saying the properties will be distributed to needy Malays once the region is liberated from the “occupying Siamese,” according to a Bangkok newspaper, the Nation.
School burnings, beheadings in the name of allah. By the way, “land of war” translates into Dar Al Harb. Google it.

Kuwait’s Not to Forget Museum. An excerpt:
My guide stressed that poor front-line conscripts served as cannon fodder at the tip of the spear, while Republican Guard troops remained in reserve, primed to “bug out when necessary.” He believes that a significant motivation for the conflict was Saddam’s desire to maintain a grip on domestic power in the face of restless ethnic majorities; that Hussein started wars to minimize Iran’s influence on Iraq’s Shiites, to keep potential rebels occupied and diminished in a state of constant war, and enable them to pillage resources from other countries as he could and would not provide for them himself.
All-in-all, not a terrible theory.
Yep.

Is that a trick question?

Are there any predominantly Islamic countries in existence that do not have their citizens out happily performing acts of war/terrorism?
