I would say Nigeria because although it is an Islamic plurality, the government ever since independence have been controlled by ?Southerners whoa re predominantly Christian. Boko Haram does their thing in Maiduguri but besides that in the major cities you can meet a Christian or Muslim everywhere you go and mosques and churches are right next to each other. The cities were this is especially true is Ibadan, Abuja and Lagos.
Their hasn't been anything serious in these cities damaging Christian- Muslim relations. One of the reason why their is so little religious conflict outside of one northern state is mostly due to the fact that Nigerians hate each other among ethnic lines rather than religious lines, why hate about something as petty as religion when you can argue over language and culture.

Why does it matter how long ago it was? Fact is, if it happened before, it can happen again. 9/11 was 15 years ago. The length of time does not mean that the US now has a lower probability. Paris and Brussels could go 15 or 20 years before their next incident.

That's right, Russia doesn't have any problems with these people whatsoever either.
It's Northern Caucasians - Chechens to be more precise - that are the root of a problem.

This thread is full of examples from around the world, the Americas to Europe Asia and Africa. Non muslim nations seem to have a bad history with the muslim world. It must be the rest of the world that causes all the problems right?

I don't think that the attacks in Rome and Vienna were acts of Islamic terror as they can be observed today.

This is the men who carried the attacks. Terrorism coming from those countries has clearly changed face since the 80s but i firmly believe that Western countries are the ones who caused this resurgence of radical Islam with excessive interference in the matter of Middle Eastern countries

It's a part of the Muslim world that's radical just as there is a part of the Western World which is imperialistic and is in the hunt for a common enemy to distract us from the real problems. There are radicals and warmongers on both sides, they just wear a different mask
