You're kidding, right? There are many Christian terrorists in Africa and even India, they just don't make the news. 

Sure thing. Christians are currently the most persecuted group in the World, especially in Africa and India. I know it's hard for leftist to acknowledge this undeniable fact, since they are on a mission to destroy Christianity in the West and sympathising with Christians isn't politically correct. It may be hard to swallow, but the real solution to islamic terror isn't more violence against muslims and destruction of more and more of their countries, but support and development of Christian communities in Africa and Middle East. Long term, you can defeat the muslim evil only with good.

I think avoiding religion altogether when it comes to developing countries will bring the most effective results. Interfering with the Middle East was an embarrassing mistake, but we can reverse our actions by educating people and not creating more problems. Their way of living is different than ours. Simple. I'd rather see Iraq have a flawed prime minister/dictator than to see it turn into a hell hole. Bringing more knowledge into the area will definitely bring massive improvement, whether if it's now or later.

 

Unfortunately, I just don't think much will change. Not too many people understand the damage that comes from interfering with issues in African and Middle Eastern countries. You can definitely try to help, but the 20th-21st century shows that typically things just end up becoming worse (Vietnam and communism, Iraq and Saddam, Yemen and Libya's political issues, etc.) 

 

We'll know that things have become better than the regions slowly turn into Jordan or Syria pre-civil war. We shouldn't expect them to turn into Switzerland anytime soon, but (as you said) everyone definitely wants people of all religions to unite without issue
