Islam 's internal tensions: Islamists fighting Muslims

Jeffrey Simpson, in the Globe and Mail, writes:

"...a great deal of the strife in the Muslim world today is among religious groups, sects and governments, mixed into a toxic brew by power politics, religious ideology and historical enmities.

The West’s ability to decisively influence these conflicts, each of which is unique, is more limited than those anxious to intervene apparently understand."

See if you can count the number of conflicts he lists in this article, after having read through it here.
