What of the other areas in the world that have become centers of Islamic extremism and violence? Its not just the Middle East and Africa. What about Bolivia in South America? What about Bosnia, which has a erupted previously, and with its religious divisions could easily do so again. Heck, on that note, the entire Balkans area is a valid possibility. What of Bangladesh, a failed state by about any standard, with a substantial majority of Muslims. |
I thought you might be wrong on Bangladesh due to it's being near a Hindu state of India.
But your right ... only 16% is Hindu and 83% is Muslim.

Nearly 83 percent of the population of Bangladesh claimed Islam as its religion in the 1980s, giving the country one of the largest concentrations of Muslims in the world.
