Question

the majority of nations in the middle east are muslim in spite of this fact conflict still develops between muslim nations over religious issues. describe what causes these types of conflicts. make it 2-3 sentences

Answer 1

Although most Middle Eastern countries have Muslim majorities, conflicts arise because doctrinal and sectarian differences (notably Sunni–Shia splits, rival jurisprudential schools, and competing religious movements) are tied to historical grievances and local identities. Those religious differences are often amplified by political competition, state policies, economic inequalities, and foreign intervention, so religion becomes a marker and mobilizing tool rather than the sole root cause.
