I doubt WW1, WW2, Korean War, Vietnam War, Cold War were rooted in religion. In fact Capitalism and Communism have killed millions in the name of Godless Ideologies in the last century than in anytime in humanity.
When the Army of Islam was liberating people from darkness into the shade of Islam they were very careful in ensuring women, children, the elderley and even the environment were not harmed. The way those people, who lived for centuries under oppressive rule (kings, lords, etc) were eager for the muslims to come and liberate them because they knew Islam offered security and justice, is sharply contrasted to the manner in which non muslim conqerors treated their subjects. That is why when non-muslims came into contact with muslims and lived under the system of Islam, did many of them embrace Islam and joined the Army of Islam- thus the conquered became the conquerors!
Of course, I do not deny that in the 1400 hundred years of Islamic rule there were no problems. Of course there were, because Muslims (not Islam) are not infallible and misapplied Islam or overstepped the limits but this was isolated and limited and cannot be used to describe the overall situation of the people who lived under Islam.
In fact whn the muslims lived under Islam and applied the systems correctly they became world leaders and when they moved away from Islam, then we have the sorry situation we have today.
