Does nationalism mean killing one community

Zealots in whatever form they come are dangerous to humans. That is because they will try to prove themselves right at whatever cost. The world is going through a crisis at the moment. It seems that it is the era of extremists and idealists. While the name ISIS Comes to mind immediately we believe we are safe in our own countries away from the middle east where they are recognised as clear and present danger. However, what is worrying is that there is a new breed of zealots present in the form of nationalists. 

Nationalists would like us to believe that they are lovers of a nation or patriots - a word they like to throw around very much. We have found that this may not be the case. They are usually haters of everything that is not them. In other words - extremists. We see Muslim extremists and quickly condemn them. But what about the people who play on our fears to sell themselves as leaders and saviors.

Somewhere in the arms race, world domination and controlling the natural resources of other countries, an organisation called the All Qaeeda was created. This organisation existed as long as the Bush administration, then faded away. It was replaced by ISIS a more vicious and deadly force seeking revenge of western atrocities on Muslim nations. However, for some reasons it has proceeded to exact revenge from other Muslims rather than the western powers it had sought. Muslims started being discriminated against in the name of this new organisation and openly being called terrorists.

 
In the history of unfolding events which is being witnessed by everyone, Muslims suddenly became the reason for everything wrong. They even started being disowned by countries where they have lived in for centuries.

 
France started a systematic persecution of Muslims by every kind of ban it could think of. The leader elected to France was elected with a promise of ridding the country of its problems and the aim being the country would be Christian again. 

In Burma, Buddhists, the icons of peace started killing Muslims indiscriminately in a form of ethnic cleansing. In Central Africa, a clash of Christian and Muslims has left many Muslims homeless or dead. In India, forces that had been allowed to poison minds of countless Hindus who should be worried about basic necessities like water scarcity, education and development now are thinking of getting rid of Muslims and making India a Hindu nation. 

The irony is that the very rights each state claims to be protecting, it is taking away from other citizens. This is not new and one community has always sought the upper hand over another through violence. The violence usually justified through some rationale and most often it is a case of turned tables. Earlier it was conquering land, then it was spreading religion now it has taken the garb of nationalism.
