Maybe not 99% in the middle east, but still a very high percentage, It would be expected to be lower in the middle east because that is where these minorities are based, and operate from. However, all anyone really ever sees is the medias interpretation of the middle east. There are many area that are still living in peace. It is also worth mentioning the majority of people living in the middle east are muslim, in fact, the vast majority. If you are trying to claim that all, or even a large amount of these people are not peaceful then that would be foolish. I will clarify, that by peaceful I dont mean, they love the west. The uk public doesnt really like america, but it doesnt mean we aren't peaceful. There is a difference between disliking someone and trying to hurt them.

Another example the genocide in Rwanda when the Catholic and protestant churches gave moral sanction or mass genocide. Not to mention the Catholic church covering up cases of sex offences on children.The Israel, palestine conflict over holy land. The Pope saying condoms are worse than Aids. I dunno if you are looking at the same religions when you say it doesn't hurt people. I really don't think religion which is based on faith(belief without evidence) Can coincide with Science.
I admit, there have been many cases where religion has caused bad things to happen, and i will say i am not religious at all. But there are points you made that really don't work. The holocaust is not a good example, you cant claim a mans hate for a religion and his actions were the fault of that religion. If Jewish people and religion didnt exist, im sure hitler would have still done what he did.
And as i stated before, there are many scientists that science would not be the same today without who believed in god, i can list more, but i fear that will not achieve anything.
