the early sixteenth century they took over northern India. That obviously translated into a clash with Hindu armies. The warring among Islam and Hinduism continued in the following centuries and not even when Britain ruled the subcontinent, did it stop. That is why in 1947, when the British granted independence, the Muslims demanded that India be broken up so that they could have a nation of their own. Despite the territorial partition, as soon as the British withdrew, History has recorded so many wars that were caused by religion, that it is impossible to enumerate them all. One would probably require numerous tomes just to annotate the names of all those conflicts.

In the early stages of human existence, during the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods, tens of thousands of religious wars were fought. However, we will never know a thing about them because they went unrecorded due to the absence of writing in those archaic times.

In more recent eras, such as the last two thousand years, there have been countless violent conflicts between different creeds. Fortunately, those were well documented.

The first confrontation between Christianity and Islam occurred in 645, when the newly formed Muslim armies tried to overrun the Byzantine Empire. Then came the Muslim invasion of the Iberian Peninsula, then the Crusades, then the conquering drive of the Ottoman Turks into the Mediterranean, then the push of Czarist Russia into Ottoman territories, then the imperialist drive of Europe into the Middle East, and then the War on Terror.

The first clash between Judaism and Christianity took place two thousand years ago, but soon the new religion consolidated its power in Europe and since then it instigated official and unofficial pogroms against the Jews. The most costly in human lives was the Spanish Inquisition in the fifteenth century. That inter-creed confrontation experienced no respite and continued into the twentieth century, when Nazi Germany pursued to exterminate the Jews and the Vatican showed sympathy for what the fascists were doing. The Orthodox Christians were hardly any different from their Western counterparts and in Russia there were numerous religiously inspired anti-Jewish pogroms.

Since the death of Mohammed in 632, Muslim armies systemically expanded the territories under their control and in the early sixteenth century they took over northern India.
