A nation-state based on a religion is not good. As one-poster stated that brings a nation-state that is more exclusive than inclusive.

Yes, the surrounding Arab/Muslim countries are exclusive, and very bigoted towards others who hold different beliefs and lifestyles.

But the creation of a nation-state in the 20th Century and the land, water, and political repercussions brings nothing good.

I agree with Surasak, also.
