Are there any similarities between conflicts in Middle East today and Balkan region during World War 1?
Yes, but probably not where you're expecting it.
The Balkan conflicts (the Jugoslav Wars) which raged in the 1910s and the 1990s were primarily characterized by the use of religious beliefs as ethnic identifiers. This means that a person was a Croat if they were a Roman Catholic or a Serb if he was Eastern Orthodox. Both Serbs and Croats spoke the same language, ate the same foods, and lived in mixed communities and mixed provinces. However, belief in a certain theological structure was seen as a way to discriminate between both groups. However, religion was not used in the "dogmatic" or "excommunicatory" sense, which is to say that Croats did not oppose the Serbs (or vice versa) BECAUSE the Serbs prayed with icons, but used this style of prayer to identify who was a Serb or another Croat. Additionally, in these conflicts, there were Bosniaks and ethnic Albanians who identify as Muslims. There are also Macedonians who identify with Bulgarian Orthodox Church or the Greek Orthodox Church, but the point is made.
In most Arab states with large minorities, the conflicts between these groups break out along religious lines since the religions serve as good ethnic identifiers. The Lebanese Civil War and its continuing aftermath pitted Maronite Christians against Sunni Muslims against Shiite Muslims. The Iraqi Insurgency pitted a unified government with Kurdish Peshmerga allies against Shiite Extremists and Sunni Extremists. Just as in the Jugoslav case, these groups do not attack each other on account of their religious differences, but use the different religions to identify what part of society or which group each person belongs to. Oddly, this issue is not part of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. While most Palestinian combatants are Sunni Muslim and most Israeli combatants are Jewish, the Israeli Army and general populace include a large variety of non-Jewish members and Palestine still retains a Christian minority. This keeps the confrontational identities national and not religious as ethnic identifiers.
