"Which conflict precisely, Jim?"
Any conflict that acquires the tag "Holy War" in order to demonise that particular religion Mike.
As I said, 'Holy Wars' per se are extremely rare beasts - these are always about something else.
To sympathise for the dead of one side and ignore all the other dead is to be partisan - what about all the Mrs Alis, whose sons died during one of the incursions into Gaza, or at Sabra.... or all of the other sites of mass murder - not human enough to deserve sympathy, or just the wrong colour or religion
And no - I won't differentiate one you've finished counting the body bags, I'm sure you'll end up finding very little difference in the figures eventuality and it's the intention that counts in the end - a 'master race', 'a chosen people' 'God on our side'.....
