From ilikelegs sig:


I believe the actual number is closer to 50%

Based mainly on research from the Global Security website [url]http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/war/index.html[/url], I came up with the following list of ongoing conflicts in the world.  It's a little hard to decide where exactly to draw the line between an  ongoing armed conflict and isolated civil unrest or terrorism.  But I think the percentage holds pretty well no matter where you draw the line.

Conflicts involving an Islamic party:
Afghanistan - civil war/war with United States
Algeria - civil war between government and Armed Islamic Group
India - insurgency in Kashmir by Pakistani guerillas
Indonesia - civil war in Aceh
Iraq - conflict with U.S./U.K. over no-fly zones, etc.
Philippines - Moro insurgency
Russia - separatist war in Chechnya
Somalia - civil war
Sudan - civil war

Conflicts not involving a primarily Islamic party:
Burma - multiple ethnic tribal insurgencies
Burundi - civil war between Tutsi government and Hutu rebels (both Christian)
Colombia - insurgencies by FARC and ELN (over narcotics)
India - insurgencies in Assam and Naxalite (Maoist)
Indonesia - insurgency in Irian Jaya (indigenous groups)
Mexico - insurgiences by Zapatista guerillas
Senegal - insurrection in Casamance by MFDC
Sri Lanka - civil war between government (Buddhist) and Tamils (Hindu)
Uganda - insurgencies by LRA and ADF
