[JeanLouiseDellAQ1]

Islam directly affected the rise of the nation states in Europe the resultant rise of American liberty. Allah made nations-tribes so that they may know one another not despise one another as stated in the Koran. The failed state is the one seeking to know only itself by subjugating humanity to its atheism which is its religion even if it holds other religions as heirlooms for display. Again the failed state ends in the cruelty of its trespasses against humans --Islam is always the revolution
