The majority of Muslim wars are among themselves and not against Western civilization.
"In 2012, there were six civil wars worldwide. All took place within Muslim countries: Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sudan, Somalia, Syria and Yemen..."
Are Muslim countries more violent?
In Afghanistan, the pro-Taliban Muslims were fighting against the pro-US Muslims. As soon as the US gave the pro-Taliban Muslims the peace deal, they stopped shooting at the US personnels but continued to shoot at the pro-US Muslims.
Majority of 1.8 billion Muslim in the world co-exist peacefully with other non-Muslims fine.
The majority of Muslim countries are also at peace with one another and with their neighbors. Many of the civil wars going on in the world in 2012 were the backside of the Arab Spring which was caused by a grain shortage that sent the cost of grain sky high and countries that were dependent on that grain has civil unrest. Countries that were not completely dependent on imported grain didn't have the unrest. The dependency is more common in the Muslim world than anywhere else.
Not all that long before 2012 a lot of countries that were not Muslim were in civil wars: Macedonia, Cambodia, Nepal, Liberia, Congo, etc.
It's east to say "all x are like y", but it's more difficult to look at the nuances. There are patterns, but some are real patterns and some are false trails that fall apart on inspection.
The roots of the different conflicts in the Muslim world are different country to country. The causes of the conflict in Palestine have completely different roots from the conflict in Afghanistan.
In Palestine two different groups have historical claims to the same land. Making things more difficult three world religions claim the same city in the region as a holy city. One group's claims are fairly well documented, but were broken by the Romans in the 1st century CE. The other group has a more recent claim of possession for the last 2000 years.
The rest of the world is divided about the claims too. For the Muslim world, this looks a lot like a modern repeat of the crusades with a proxy group as the crusaders. For the European world, there is a collective guilt about what happened in the Holocaust and Israel is sort of compensation for that.
The problem is a good argument can be made for both groups' claim. Ultimately it's one of the world's most intractable problems. People wring their hands and demand a negotiated settlement, but a negotiated settlement is only possible when both sides are willing to give something. At this point there are a few on each side willing to compromise, but enough people willing to blow up any compromise if it looked like it was going to happen that in reality a compromise is not possible.
Sometimes conflicts can't be solved. At least not in the moment. The conflict is going to continue until both sides are willing to compromise or one side is eliminated. Until then, it's going to churn on.
I, like many outsiders, think the two state solution is the best answer, but the players on the board don't think so. Until they do, nothing is going to happen. Wars don't end because outsiders want it to happen.
