He meant that Islam is in conflict with any nation having a religious or political system which is not Islamic with which it shares borders.

However, this is not true. Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance. If in some countries with minority Muslims are demonstrating discrimination against Muslims you never find this in Muslim majority countries for one reason. Muslims believe in other God religions (Christianity and Judaism) and their holy books as God holy books and they believe in their prophets. However, non Muslims don't believe in Islam as a religion, Muhammad as a God prophet, and Quran as God holy books. Muslims call Jews and Christians as people of the book (holders of holy God books) in Quran holy book while they call Muslims non believers in their holy books. The political conflict between Israel and neighboring countries is not due to religion but due the oppression exercised by Israel on the Palestinians (the original people of the whole land of Israel who were living in peace with Christians and Jews before the announcement of Israel State in 1948). The conflict between Pakistan and India is due to the separation of subcontinent; when was under the British occupation; into an Islamic country Pakistan and a Hindus country India. Although Kashmir is of majority Muslims it was put under control of India just to assure the existence of conflicts between both countries after having independence. remember the massacres exercised against Muslims in Bosnia and Burma and the Philippines to recognize that it was not due to Muslims but due to other non Muslims.

How is Islam sunni and shiite related to each other?

They are the two main branches of Islam. The split between Sunni and shiite Islam occurred very early in Islam's history, in the 7th century AD. It had very little to do with any differences in Muslim belief (although there are a few, mostly minor differences), but everything with the question whether the rightful successor to the prophet Muhammed was his father-in-law Abu Bakr or his son-in-law Ali. Sunni Muslims think is was Abu Bakr, Shia Muslims are followers of Ali ('shia' even means "followers"). In the past, Sunni and Shiite Muslims mostly managed to co-exist peacefully and even intermarried. Today the differences between these two Muslim branches have become intermingled with the struggle for political supremacy in the Middle East between Sunni Saudi Arabia and Shiite Iran.

What were the political conditions of Madina before Islam?

Ironically for a now Muslim-only city, Jews were prominent among its founders and oldest inhabitants and they remained a powerful presence in the city until well after the foundation of Islam (they by the way also instituted the habit of walking around the temple and the Ka'aba stone in Mecca as a form of veneration). Madina was one of the most important cities of the pre-Muslim Yemenite Kingdom.
