Are Americans killing each other ?
In Iraq , you used to blame Shia-Sunni wars . But basically they are at peace despite their differences.

Which nations are those?
The ones who don't get their children killed in the schools or don't get bombs , the more peaceful nations.
I only ask because there was a time in Iraq that shia vs sunni violence was so bad that the morgues in the city ran out of room.
Until religions stop convincing their flocks that they are right and everyone else is wrong and lower than dogs

Like what the other guy said , Canada.
We don't get children shot in schools usually.
You miss all the thread and stick to one line. What kind of people are you ?
Or maybe I ask , How old are you ?
Canada has it's violence too. Biker gangs are notorious up there.

May I ask when was that exactly and who were those people ? and how did you determined it as Shia-Sunni war ?
The Civil War in Iraq refers to the peak of insurgency during Iraq War, which lasted from 2006 until 2008.
Following the U.S.-launched 2003 invasion of Iraq, the situation deteriorated, and by 2007, the intercommunal violence between Iraqi Sunni and Shi'a factions was described by the National Intelligence Estimate as having elements of a civil war.[17] In a January 10, 2007 address to the American people, President George W. Bush stated that "80% of Iraq's sectarian violence occurs within 30 miles (48 km) of the capital. This violence is splitting Baghdad into sectarian enclaves, and shaking the confidence of all Iraqis."[18] Two polls of Americans conducted in 2006 found that between 65% to 85% believed Iraq was in a civil war;[19][20] however, a similar poll of Iraqis conducted in 2007 found that 61% did not believe that they were in a civil war.[21]
In October 2006, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the Iraqi government estimated that more than 370,000 Iraqis had been displaced since the 2006 bombing of the al-Askari Mosque, bringing the total number of Iraqi refugees to more than 1.6 million.[22] By 2008, the UNHCR raised the estimate of refugees to a total of about 4.7 million (~16% of the population). The number of refugees estimated abroad was 2 million (a number close to CIA projections[23]) and the number of internally displaced people was 2.7 million.[24] The estimated number of orphans across Iraq has ranged from 400,000 (according to the Baghdad Provincial Council), to five million (according to Iraq's anti-corruption board). A UN report from 2008 placed the number of orphans at about 870,000.[25][26] The Red Cross has also stated that Iraq's humanitarian situation remains among the most critical in the world, with millions of Iraqis forced to rely on insufficient and poor-quality water sources.[27]
What is holding Iraq back today is continued internal strife. Not since the worst days of Shia-Sunni warfare in 2006-08 has sectarian polarization in Iraq presented such a threat to the country's integrity.

AS long as we use logic , logic says who is wrong and who is right. That was about right and wrong argument.
But about knowing others lower than dog , I agree that no one has the right to do that.
And Muslims don't want to kill every body.
At least , none-Wahhabi Muslims have some principles.
But Wahhabi are the same people who your govt has been supporting for so long.edit on 30-4-2013 by mideast because: (no reason given)
And Muslims don't want to kill every body.

And [servants of God] are those who, when reminded of the verses of their Lord, do not fall upon them deaf and blind. Quran 25:73
The Jews say, "Ezra is the son of Allah "; and the Christians say, "The Messiah is the son of Allah ." That is their statement from their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved [before them]. May Allah destroy them; how are they deluded?
They have taken their scholars and monks as lords besides Allah , and [also] the Messiah, the son of Mary. And they were not commanded except to worship one God; there is no deity except Him. Exalted is He above whatever they associate with Him.
They want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah refuses except to perfect His light, although the disbelievers dislike it. Quran 9:30-33
Sahih al-Bukhari 6924—Muhammad said: “I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: La ilaha illallah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah), and whoever said La ilaha illahllah, Allah will save his property and his life from me.”
Say, "O People of the Scripture(christians and jews), come to a word that is equitable between us and you - that we will not worship except Allah and not associate anything with Him and not take one another as lords instead of Allah ." But if they turn away, then say, "Bear witness that we are Muslims [submitting to Him]."
Remember, you brought up the Shia Sunni conflicts... no one else did.
