[Narcodran]

You have a region where three major religions all claim that they were given the land by divine right, all have holy sites in the area ( often for the same event in their religious history) and all three religions basically hate each other and claim that they are acting in legitimate self defence.

(I know that in Middle East violence the Christians are only bit players but there are there and have participated in the violence.)

The ironic thing is that all three religions not only share the same roots but claim to have a belief in peace and coexistence with other religions.

I do not think that there will ever be peace in the region as the elites of these groups have too much invested in a culture of hatred and retaliation.
