One theme that can be seen worldwide is ethnic/religious conflict because it happened almost everyday. The reason this is caused is because people that are racist and have nothing better to do, decide to bother and discriminate on people that did nothing wrong. In all the articles that I have found the main thing that is shown is that a person judges the whole religion because of an act that one person/group did. Religious conflicts didn 't just start in the 21st century but rather it existed since the first religion was created, which goes way back before common era.
One historical example of religious conflict is the Utah War. The Utah war wasn 't exactly a war but rather a conflict for the Mormons. The Mormons are people who believe …show more content…
The conflict that happened with the Mormon people is that they found the Mormon book in 1830 and tried to settle down in New York and build a Mormon temple but they New York government kicked them out. Then they had to flee to Ohio, same story, their next trip was Missouri and then Illinois, but finally after about 4 trips of harsh treatment they came to Utah in which they actually got to settle. A group of Mormon people came to Utah and found an open town and decided that they will make that they Mormon town and they built a Mormon temple to claim their territory. After about three years of peace the founder of the Mormon religion/book was arrested along with his brother, which brought great discrimination. Soon after they got arrested the Mormon town was found and burned down to pieces and even the founder and his brother were attacked in their jail cells by anti-Mormons. Another Historical example of religious conflict was within two groups of Christianity, shortly after the Revolutionary War, between Anglicans and Baptists.

One of the biker gang members said he will start a contest and it is called “Draw Muhammad” in which people had to attempt to draw Muhammad. Many people may not find any reason why this is wrong towards Muslims, but the reasoning behind it is that, since the Prophet Muhammad died Muslims couldn 't picture how he looked because he was that noble to followers of Islam. For an individual to attempt to draw him is very disrespectful because nobody knows how he looks and it is supposed to be that way. Also in this same article one of the biker gang member threatened all Muslims in Arizona by saying “The likelihood for blood will be high.” In this article it said they interviewed a Muslim 's man and in the interview he speaks of how Muslims are always being framed in Arizona but if a KKK member tries to build a death -ray machine, he wasn 't called a terrorist but rather he had to be checked if he was mental and then later after about two years he was arrested. This has a big effect on the people because it goes back to the same reason as the first modern example, Muslim people are scared to call themselves Muslim in Arizona because they do not want to be framed or killed by a gang
