All countries where Islam is the predominant faith and Muslim is the predominant ethnic group... and all countries that I would avoid visiting because extreme violence seems to be deemed acceptable when conflict arises between groups.

I think its important to take a step back and really look at this situation with open eyes and an open mind. Its easy to have preconceived notions about this kind of complex conflict. The media in many ways plays a significant role in closing people off from really looking at issues from all sides. I urge you to read the article below and give it some thought.
Islam is not the problem here. Muslims come in all shapes and sizes with varying political beliefs.

Like i said, this issue is really complex and to dumb it down to unconsidered generalizations is at the least insensitive and at worst very offensive.
