Yes, it is so the religion the majority of people practice affects the lands they live in. By Lord Jesus Christ's teaching Christians would seek to improve the world starting from their neighbor while Islam is only about conquering all the world to Islam and seeking to convert others to whether by force, heavy taxes or persecution, as soon as the number of muslims grow their socieities decay - because they generally try to solve problems by violence, not by peace and agreement as Jesus Christ taught.
Of course not! No religion has any "validity" so the "question" is meaningless!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
