	Nationalism - MSN Encarta
		Nationalism, in modern history, movement in which the nation-state is regarded as paramount for the realization of social, economic, and cultural aspirations of a people.
		Nationalism is characterized principally by a feeling of community among a people, based on common descent, language, and religion.
		National feeling was strengthened in various countries during the Reformation, when the adoption of either Catholicism or Protestantism as a national religion became an added force for national cohesion.

	Religious Zionism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Religious Zionists are a faction within the Zionist movement which justify Zionist efforts to build a Jewish state in the land of Israel on the basis of Judaism.
		Religious Jews believe that since the land of Israel (Eretz Yisrael) was given to the ancient Israelites by God, the right of the Jews to that land is permanent and inalienable.
		Many of the religious Zionists are settlers in the West Bank, as were almost all the settlers forcibly expelled from the Gaza Strip in August and September 2005.

	Religious Nationalism and Human Rights: Religion and Peacemaking: U.S. Institute of Peace
		Religious nationalism is a fact of contemporary international life.
		The notions of "nation" and "nationalism," as we use them today, are relatively recent, and so is the passion for achieving "national self-determination." Up through the Middle Ages, it was not customary in Europe to draw sharp political boundaries between different "peoples," each of whom shared a distinctive language and culture.
		One's "nation" is the symbol of a rich cultural and linguistic heritage.

	Reading religious nationalism:
		Religious nationalism constructs and defends an alternative cosmology, one which delegitimizes corporate activities and asserts sovereignty rights, much as do indigenous people (who, although similarly inconveniencing planners, are not reviled by the Left for their traditionalism — perhaps only because they do not threaten to institutionalize their cosmology and values into the state).
		Religious nationalist movements may be using religious institutions to "extend the democratic imaginary" [Laclau and Mouffe 1985] — to reassert populism against political-economic oligarchy (both national and international) that disrupts traditional economic moralities, cultural integrity, and anti-colonial visions of sovereignty.
		Religious nationalism’s embrace of historical visions of social and economic life present the possibility of self-sufficient nations, which could survive at least some of the tactics mobilized against communist countries.

		Religious nationalism is not a new phenomenon or a late reaction to the globalizing and liberalizing forces of Benjamin Barber’s "McWorld." The history of religious nationalism long predates the latest round of "globalization," and, furthermore, much of the political role of religious nationalism in South Asia has been constructive.
		Religious extremism by its very nature is assumed to operate at the margins of society rather than on the center-stage of national political life.
		Without this, we are in danger of having only a series of isolated national or sub-regional perspectives, based on a "single case-study" approach, which fail to illuminate the extent to which movements of extremist religious nationalism in different parts of the subcontinent inspire and provoke each other.

	Blood Sacrifice and the Nation: Revisiting Civil Religion*
		The creation of national or sectarian religious sentiment depends on a common secret, which is that the underlying cost of all society is the violent death of some portion of its members.
		In the case of American nationalism, that god is the group symbolized in the totem fetish, the flag, and embodied in the totem leader, the President.
		On the surface, we deny nationalism's religious attributes and functions in order to keep the the killing authority of the group from being challenged by sectarian faiths that have been stripped of the power to sacrifice the lives of devotees.

	"Nationalism and its Discontents" by Michael Lind
		For example, Greek nationalism for the last two centuries has been divided between the neo-Hellenism of the secular elite and the Orthodox, religious nationalism of much of the population.
		Instead of seeing a shift from nationalism to non-nationalist religion, then, we are witnessing, in much of the world (including the United States) the displacement of secular nationalism by religious nationalism.
		If religious nationalism is considered, as it should be, a form of nationalism, then Wiebe's obituary for nationalism may prove to be as premature as Hobsbawm's.

		The introduction of a religious frontier into the Anglo-lrish conflict meant that religious nationalism in each country would be formed around their unique religious identity instead of another potential constitutive factor such as language or culture.
		This combination of a religious frontier and a national threat is not isolated to the lrish and British cases.
		Polish nationalism however, is unique in its particular conditions: first, its presence at a major crossroads of religion in the middle of the European continent; and second, a persistent and savage threat from its Orthodox, Muslim, and Protestant neighbors.

	BUDDHIST NATIONALISM AND RELIGIOUS VIOLENCE IN ŚRI LANKĀ
		The modern nation state is this autonomous self expressed as the will of a people defined by language, culture, religion, and race.
		By keeping church and state separate the modern nation state has succeeded thus far in satisfying its minorities, but serious problems are beginning to arise as Muslims in Europe feel alienated in an overwhelmingly secular society.
		One can preserve religious liberty and prevent the dominance of one religion while at the same time maintaining the civic virtues necessary for a society in which all of its citizens can flourish according to the dictates of their own cultural and religious preferences.

	Religious nationalism and beyond
		“Political freedom is the life-breath of a nation; to attempt social reform, educational reform, industrial expansion, the moral improvement of the race without aiming first and foremost at political freedom, is the very height of ignorance and futility.
		In a speech of 1909, delivered at the invitation of a Hindu group in Uttarpara, he did connect his religion of nationalism with the sanatana dharma; but he made it clear that he did not mean by this any sectarian religion, but the “eternal religion” that underlay all limited systems of belief.
		During the national movement he often said that one of the reasons India had to be free was to enable it to transmit its literary, artistic, and spiritual gifts to the rest of the world.

		The lrish nation began to identify in opposition to this new threat, but the lrish sentiment did not begin to take on religious tones until after the English Reformation, at which point the English became not just a threatening other, but a religious other as well, and lasted in the N.Ireland to this day.
		There are examples of heterogeneous nations which adopt a religious concept of nationalism and then proceed to purge those that no longer belong to the newly conceptualized nation.
		Specifically, nations that associate their religion with negative outside influences are less likely to turn to that religion for national differentiation and pride.

	MIFTAH--Holy Land, Holy Power An American Approach to Religious Nationalism in Israel-Palestine
		While these two religious movements claim transcendent authority, any approach to their teachings and public actions must proceed from the understanding that they are, in fact, profoundly contextual and historically located.
		The religious accommodation of Zionism taught by Kook the Elder was novel, especially given the controversy engendered by the movement among many religious Jews in the diaspora.
		The latter argues that Hamas’ “nationalization of universal religious doctrine” is a “case of religious emulation.”[45] The transformation from an ideological group affinity to a territorial one-the shift from pan-Islamism to territorial nationalism-has thus been completed in Hamas.

	USIP -- Religious Nationalism and Human Rights
		Some of the themes--for example: the emphasis on benevolence and inclusiveness, on peaceful, rather than violent, persuasion--distinctly cut against the violent parochialism and ethnocentrism so often associated with nationalism.
		This means that discrimination and persecution against religious minorities--most notably against the Baha'is--is typically undertaken on grounds of national security.

		While the war is not simply a matter of religious differences, it was argued that the various factors contributing to the conflict have found expression in religious terms.
		Finally, (3) what are the legal and institutional requirements for religious tolerance and pluralism in a post-conflict situation, either in a unified state or as two separate states.

		This private religious identity became the political agenda for the Ulama, who did not allow transforming it into the national identity of Indianness among their co-religionists.
		Islamic revival movement, the JUH also generated competitive communalism in Indian society particularly among the Hindus and the on going conflict between Muslim communalism and political Hindutva as we see today is therefore the natural outcome of their Islamic communalism, which they are carrying since the days of freedom struggle.
		In fact the religious nationalism of JUH against the secular nationalism of Mahatma Gandhi and Nehru remained the main obstacle in the secular integration of Indian Muslims with the majority community.

	The New Cold War? Religious Nationalism Confronts the Secular S
		Juergensmeyer points out that much of the world neither understands nor finds attractive the idea of a "secular state." He helps us see that religious nationalism is a fact of life that will be with us for a long time to come.
		Because there is, Juergensmeyer argues, no satisfactory compromise between the religious vision of the national state and that of liberal democracy, a new kind of cold war may develop, no less obstructive of a peaceful international order than the old.
		Finally, he situates the growth of religious nationalism in the context of the political malaise of the modern West.

	CESNUR 2004 - HOLY LAND, HOLY POWER: An American Approach to Religious Nationalism in Israel/Palestine , by Robert O. ...
		While continuing the legacy of rapprochement between the religious and secular components of Israeli society established by Kook the Elder, the mystical-messianic theopolitical ideology espoused by Gush Emunim is not plagued with ambiguity regarding the tangible vision of Zionism.
		In identifying the land of Israel/Palestine as a waqf, a cede of land entrusted to Muslims until the Day of Judgment, and augmenting this claim by stating that “The nationalism of the Islamic Resistance Movement is part of its religion,”[43] Hamas engaged in innovative theological reasoning.
		Some argue that religious difference is often used to conceal other sources of discord while others assert that religion can inform not only the rhetoric but also the reality of political conflict.
