If such a thing caused a "spark", it was already in motion and someone was just waiting for an excuse. Whatever the "spark" for war is, the decision to go to war is made long before. Look at our own history and the "spark" that took us to war each time (i.e. sinking of USS Maine, Lusitania, Pearl Harbor, Gulf of Tonkin, 9/11 attacks). In each case, it was nothing more than an excuse for the government to enter into a war they had already been itching to enter. In such cases, if the spark is not one thing, it will be something else.

OMG...awesome...wars have nothing to do with religion. While I agree every war has a tie in one way or another to monetary goals, almost every war also has religious undertones....whether they be added in or not, they are there. I'd rank it 1) money 2) religion 3) threat of survival
