One world goverment or one world religion (or no religion) would do nothing to stop war since the greatest enemy are those from within and not those from the outside. In American our own government has done more damage to our economy than any muslim extremist could ever dream to do.

Bit melodramatic, don't you think?
One world religion would just eliminate one of the possible conflict generators, and even if there was one world governemnt there could still be civil wars. So you're right about those wouldn't eradicate war, though they'd certainly eliminate major reasons of conflict.

No it wouldn't. Which specific version of Islam? Because they're killing each other left and right in many parts of the world. Ironically its often the smaller differences that infuriate people the most. It wouldn't be a stretch th say that the biggest killers of Muslims in the world today are other Muslims.

Were you replying to me? I wasn't reffering to the whole world converting to Islam, I was reffering to the existence of a one world government or a one world religion (a religion with no different sects, unlike christianity or islam)/prefferably no religion

Its not possible to have one world religion without it splintering. If you look at most of the major religions they splinter further and further over time. So even if you started with one, in 500 years time I very much doubt it'll still be one religion. The ideal as you say would be no religion, as it would remove humanity from that particular cycle of violence but dogma would still presumable exist. Wether its in a religious like personality cult or any other extreme political movements.
