If anything is going to send young men to violence it could well be the unimaginable violence inflicted on their kin in those countries by Apache gunships and depleted uranium.

Kin?

I think you are the one being purposefully obtuse.

The only thing they have in common with them is religion.

How does that detract from my argument? Whether people are linked by blood is irrelevant. If they feel kinship then, they are kin.

To some, this is more significant than being from the same nation.
The Jewish may have a thing or two to say about that also.
