      The middle east has been ablaze for longer than Muslims have been a thing.

        It’s a relative thing. Right now, what war there is is mostly within the internationally recognised borders, as opposed to across them. If shit really pops off we could see, like, Dubai being leveled by Iranian rockets and most of the survivors dying of thirst with no desalination plants.

        Also, since we’re doing nitpicks, the Middle east wasn’t necessarily more warlike than every other civilisational region. It’s just that China or the Himalayas aren’t in the Bible, so Anglos don’t think about them as much.
