Well, we'll give Realsomeone the benefit of the doubt on the "nation" definition as a nation is generally a group with a shared affinity, beliefs and values, but doesn't have to have a territory. The Kurds would be a nation with no state, as would be the Paletinians today and the Jews for many years. To say that Muslims are the ONLY globalized nation is a gross error, but I will accept the accuracy of calling them a nation, albeit a very weak one. ANd by weak I mean sense of cohesion, not power.
