Its all a part of me that's who I am.

I was just reading an article in the New York Times about Israel that I found to be interesting. If I was not writing this blog on my phone I would have a link posted.
The article was about how Arabs in Israel feel left out and as if they do not blong to the country as a whole. This made me think about what it actually takes to be a citizen of a country. I had to do two blogs in a row about religion but a major reason why Arabs feel left out in Israel because it is defining itself as a Jewish state and they are not Jewish.
This is amazing to me simply because it says what I have been all along. That religion cannot define a country because it will isolate others. Muslim countries make it so that people of Jewish faith or any other are uncomfortable living there and Israel is doing the same thing only with Judaism.
A nation needs to be all inclusive and not see religious lines.There is nothing worse than not feeling a part of the country you are a citizen of.
