It is all about power and retaliation.
What many folks do not know is that many Israeli's are not religious
Israeli's. The conservative Rabbi's rail against this all the time.
In Islam there is no central authority and many of the Rabid Radical
Imam's disagree with the highly moderate Imam's.
Same thing in Christianity. Many of the Main-line Protestant
Churches do not agree with the more radical conservative
churches. (See ELCA, PCUSA, UCC, ECUSA etc.) Matter of fact they
have come out against many US policies in the past few years.
Many wars and skirmishes involve wanting power & money.
Overall Christianity does not want war or violence. Neither does
Judaism and Islam. Overall the majority of Islam is the more
moderate type (Sunni). Problem is just like in Christianity, it has
been hijacked by the minority who incites and provokes violence.

Again an inability to make the necessary distinctions to successfully
navagate life. The problem in the Middle East is extremeists who have
hijacked religion in support of their radical agendas. Talk to any
genuine religious leader and they will tell you that the extremeists have
nothing to do with their religion, aften taking stands that directly
oppose recognized religious teaching.
Of course neocons, being extremeists themselves, will tend to congregate
with other extremists. They feel a common solidarity.
