The study of nations and nationalism was until recently considered the domain of political scientists and seen as primarily concerned with political structures and processes of the modern state.

The Muslim population of Chiang Mai is not particularly large - according to the 1980 census it comprised a mere 2.5% of the city's overall total - but it is successful, diverse, and (at least in the main Muslim neighbourhoods) very noticeable.

Bosnian Muslims) paid attention to the fact that Izetbegovic kept repeating during the trial that in his Islamic Declaration he wasn't thinking about Bosnia-Hercegovina but about some other state in which the Muslims would be 80% of population.

 Muslims in the West: Can Conflict Be Averted? - article by Daniel Pipes
Muslims in the West act violently, not because of a violent streak inherent to Islam but for reasons having to do with their countries of origins and their own circumstances.
In addition to immigrants, the Muslim birthrate in the West far exceeds that of native Europeans and Americans, so that one-fifth of all children born in France have a father from North Africa and Muhammad is one of the most common given names in the United Kingdom.
Muslim states and organizations are ambivalent about migration to the West, sometimes deploring it as a dissolution of Islamic bonds and a drain of their best manpower, sometimes rejoicing over it as the creation of outposts in enemy territory and the gaining of needed skills.

 Kashmir for the Muslims of all nationality!   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Paradoxically, the American warning, while demonstrating its commitment towards democratic India, is humilitating as it shows India as a kind of "protectorate", a sad commentary on a nation seeking a permanent seat in the UN Security Council.
It may be noted that till date, the nation has not been informed about the contours of the proposed dialogue with the Pak-backed terrorists and (eventually) Pakistan.
Since it is inconceivable that the Saudis would intervene against the interests of co-religionists of the same sect, the conclusion is unavoidable that the government has allowed Kashmir to become an issue of the Muslims, for the Muslims, and by the Muslims (of whatever nationality).

Relatively few Muslim Americans believe the U.S.-led war on terror is a sincere effort to reduce terrorism, and many doubt that Arabs were responsible for the 9/11 attacks.

 Defending western civilisation | Samizdata.net
A commenter in an earlier article here responded to someone arguing that Muslim immigrants should never have been treated as 'immigrants' in Britain but as 'guest workers' the way the Germany treat Turks in their country, making them much easier to deport when the powers-that-be decide it is time for them to go.
In the cases where you get to choose your nationality through voluntary immigration, I agree that you must respect the mores of the nation you adopt (or adopts you), but to ask them to surrender their identity to make you feel better is wrong.
Their religion transcends nationality, which is why British muslims will go abroad to fight against British troops because they will always side with muslims and circle the wagons, regardless of whether it is right or wrong.

Muslim students said they are concerned about the way members of their faith are stereotyped in general, and are upset by this movie in particular because of the way that it perpetuates that stereotype.

The Muslims Students Associations, which is in the middle of celebrating Islamic Awareness Week, is trying to get the message across to students that Muslims are not opposed to the western world and their religion does not condone violence, Rab said.

 U.S. Immigration Profiling Muslims Based On Nationality
According to a leaked document from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) bureau, since the September 11 attacks on the U.S., federal law enforcement agencies have been using nationality as a method of screening potential risks to the country.
The document, a memo from Ted Stark who is a supervisory special agent with the Office of Intelligence at ICE, is dated February 2006 and was initially released by McClatchy Newspapers.
In the memo, Stark wrote that so many federal agencies now have lists of countries that they believe to be of special interest for security reasons and that officials had considered implementing one large list across all agencies as a means of streamlining the process.
