    Yeah I understand that part, but what I am saying is what have they done for the most part. Besides fighting off the Byzantines and such.

    For the most part they have been pretty stable. Its a bit of a myth that they're always fighting each other. They are often fighting outside influences (Anywhere from the Crusades to WW1 to wars with Israel).

    Perhaps the destruction of the Ottoman Empire?

    I mean the Middle East was pretty peaceful until the Ottomans were destroyed after WWI.

    The Mongols of the Middle East were Muslim in the later years of the Ilkhanate.

    If you mean in ways of the religion spliting there was one.
