Sorry for the confusion.
If you read the sentence again you will see the real emphasis on “failed state”.
That is “If Pakistan is a failed state”, it doesn’t really matter from world view if we are Muslims are not.
In fact it may harm the view about our religion if Pakistan is not doing well.
I mean look at Afghanis or Somalis.
They can all jump up and down and use big names like “Islamic Emirates of Fulana Fulana”, the world will simply laugh at them and their ways and their culture and their religion.
Hope that clarifies the point in the original post.
Back to your question about Israel.
State of Israel has two religious branches: Ashkenazi and Sephardic.
Ashkenazi Jews pretty much hold the European view of the world. And the formation of the state of Israel was mainly the work of Ashkenazi Jews.
Thus the argument! That the religious view doesn’t matter. What matters is the world view one may hold.
One may say that religious views may drive the world view. And thats a valid point.
But my feeling is that we hold a world view, and then we use/abuse religion to support that view.
I may not understand the detailed and intricate analysis of the social structures.
But the examples of European view, vs. Far-Eastern view vs. Middle Eastern view, are too obvious to ignore.
