“Ritual Warriors: Religious Practices, Sectarian War, and Future Peace” Abstract: Ritual Warriors argues that daily rituals of exclusion based on sect identity, such as scriptural interpretation, afterlife ceremony, and dietary rituals, often explain which communities turn civil conflicts from multi-sectarian, secular conflicts into religious war. Through quantitative analysis of subnational conflicts from 1970-2015 and six qualitative case studies from around the world, Ritual Warriors finds that groups who practice exclusion as part of their daily sectarian ritual are likely to fight longer, bloodier conflicts than secular or moderate religious counterparts. I analyze six historical and ongoing conflicts, through ethnographic fieldwork, archival data analysis, and in-depth interviews in combat zones. In each case study, I trace how the rise of sectarian practices explain the variation of violence outcomes observed, building a case for the use of “practice tracing” in conflict analysis and sectarianism studies – an entirely new qualitative methodology. I explain the variation of violence in settler communities in the West Bank, the variation of Buddhist participation in conflicts in Sri Lanka and Burma, the rise of Boko Haram in Nigeria, and the role of religious communities before and after the civil war in Sierra Leone. In each case, I also evaluate groups engaged in conflict de-escalation, explaining how their practices serve to decidedly not sectarianize.
