Because my experience of being in Iraq for two Ramadans, my answer to the second question might be a bit tainted. I understand that Iraq is not the entire Muslim world, however.
On the flip side, I have never seen a group of Christians go on a violent rampage during Lent, regardless of their location.
As a matter of fact, the entire Middle East makes up a rather small minority of the 'entire Muslim world'. As for your experience in Iraq during Ramadan, I can assume that you were there as part of an occupying military force. I'm not certain of the balance we should place on the religious, as compared to the political, but it is certainly a valid question for review.
