What separates us from identifying with another person?
The fear of the unknown, dosa(fear) and avija(not knowing).
The jealous comparing mind that is lobha(greed).
Nothing in actuality admits that anything is separate.
What separates us is our belief and perception that we are separate.

The scriptures teach conflict comes from craving, as follows:
Craving is a cause of seeking. Seeking is a cause of gaining material possessions. Gaining material possessions is a cause of assessing. Assessing is a cause of desire and lust. Desire and lust is a cause of attachment. Attachment is a cause of possessiveness. Possessiveness is a cause of stinginess. Stinginess is a cause of safeguarding. Owing to safeguarding, many bad, unskillful things come to be: taking up the rod and the sword, quarrels, arguments, and fights, accusations, divisive speech and lies.
Therefore, it is immoral craving or, occasionally, wholesome desire, that separates people. For example:
Indians struggle to understand Buddhism (because the the celibate Buddha & his Arahant disciples probably drained India of enlightenment genetics) so Buddhists must be patient with Indians. This gives rise to identity due to hope.
Americans engage in imperialism, destroy many nations & murder many people so humane people don't appreciate them. This gives rise to identity due to hoping.
Muslims can be fundamentalists & imperialists so Hindus are apprehensive of them. This gives rise to identity due to worry.
Buddhist monks have to twist the Dhamma into mundane dhamma so ordinary person (puthujjana) feels they are a Buddhist. This gives rise to identity due to hoping.
Hindu hates Muslim because (Turkic covert) Muslim has history of violence & conquering. This gives rise to identity due to wishing.
Indian hate Pakistan because Wasim Akram was better at cricket than Sourav Ganguly and because Benazir Bhutto was better looking than Indira Gandhi. This gives rise to identity due to craving.
Therefore conflict & division comes from craving & desire, both wholesome & unwholesome. And then craving & desire gives rise to identity.

Every one carry identity.
Identity create conflict
Identity doesn't create conflict, clinging to a sense of self-identity does. It's a subtle difference, but it's an important difference nonetheless. If it was true that "identity creates conflict", there would be absolutely zero Hindu who loves Muslims, zero Muslim who loves Hindus, zero Indian who loves Pakistanis, etc. But quite the contrary, any "self-identified" Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, Taoist, etc. who sincerely and honestly practices their faith would treat one another like brothers and sisters in the same family.
