You missed the religious violence in Tibet (Communist on Buddhist) and the assassination of Indira Gandhi with its subsequent religious violence (Sikh on Hindu, then Hindu on Sikh).
Oh, and we have the ever-lovely racial violence in the US, which isn't religious per se, but is of course anti-Christianity committed by Christians on other Christians and occasionally on black Muslims. We in the States also have the interesting phenomenon of fundamentalist American Christians supporting increased violence in the Middle East to provoke the Rapture and the Second Coming of Jesus, and incidentally to iradicate the Jews. (Most will be killed and the rest will convert to Christianity, so the story goes. Bet you didn't know that figured into the invasion of Iraq among some of Bush's supporters.)
Those were just the ones that occurred to me without looking them up.
There's plenty of sectarian violence to go around. If all you see are Muslim wars, then Muslim wars are all you are looking for.
