Yeah, it's seems that Middle-East culture of honor and a bellicose religion like Islam is a deadly combination.
It's like the Bedouin saying: ""I against my brother [i.e. the particular strain of Sunni or Shiah) , my brothers and I against my cousins (Sunni or Shiah) , then my cousins and I against strangers (i.e. Jews)"
In this mindset, there would be always someone to fight even if the entire world was a caliphate, since there would be always someone with a slightly different interpretations of the Islam than your. And depending on who holds reigns of power, "heretics" will be discriminated, ostracized, prosecuted, jailed and even killed. The way Saddam Hussein treated Shiah and Bashar al-Assad treats Sunni.
