Yorktown

30. OK, let's me give you another reason

The wars of religion in France killed far more than WWI

WWI: 1.4M dead/40M pop
Casualty rate: 3.5%

Wars of religion: Between 2M and 4M people killed as a result of war, famine and disease/Population 20M
Casualty rate: 10 to 20%

I fear the clash between conflicting value systems: secular Constitution vs Sharia.
