Physical exhaustion makes my mind prone to wondering:)
I was using nations generically referring to groups of people ( usually homogeneous); we don't need to respect immoral or amoral leaders or irrational over-arching grand narratives like The Koran when it is used as a tool of cultural hegemony. That said, Muslims​ shouldn't be used as pawns in a dubious 'Game of Thrones' whether religious (Israeli) ​or corporate​ (resource extraction)...
Again, excellent​ topic:)
