Exactly the whole region was all bliss and harmony before we got there. They all got along so famously. Africa too - they used to have nice peaceful parties before colonisation.

Not all religions have been subverted for political use and I don't believe any of them were started with that intention.
Some are just ways to live a life.
That said, if Islam were wiped off the planet, the human race might just survive a bit longer.

Yes, there were wars before1914. Guess what - Europe was still having them after that. And worse ones. No-one said it was all sweetness and light, but a) promising exactly the same plot of land to two different groups at the same time, and b) cutting a continent into countries with a ruler, taking no account of the reality of tribal settled areas, led to much of the world's conflict since 1945. If (say) you take a tribe that has come to a largely honoured truce with another tribe across the river, then put a third of tribe A and two thirds of tribe B into one country, what do you suppose is going to happen once you stop them uniting to hate you? Well, take a look at the Rwandan Genocide to get a clue.
