Everyone with half a brain knows that muslims aren't a homogeneous mass. But to argue, muslims have got nothing to do with the current conflicts, is as idiotic as blaming all muslims for the current conflicts. Same as with every other religion, there are radicals, following their onw interpretation of the Qran. And same as with every other scripture, the Qran can be cherry picked for doing atrocities or good.
If you want to argue that Islam isn't the only reason for the current conflicts, you have a point. But not if you try to argue it has nothing to do with them.
The sunni & shia versions of Islam do have a direct connection to what is happening in the region.
Whoever wants to practice violence, wouldn't find it hard to cherry pick a good reason from anywhere. It's not a case limited to the Quran.
Sunni & Shia teachings are ways of cherry picking from the Quran, resulting is a big violent mess. In other words, the two sects hold a way of understanding; that understanding is the danger; not Islam.
Elaborating more, people who study Islam do it either through the Sunni or Shia way. Though the raw faith (reassembled in the Quran) is neither dangerous nor violent. The problem is the ways people study the faith with.
