In the conservative tradition of Islam the world is divided into two components: dar al-Islam, the house of submission and dar al-Harb, the house of war. In other words...the muslim world and the infidel world. Countries mean little or nothing.

Generally, they don't. Muslim countries in the middle east have warred with eachother over non-faith issues for hundreds of years.
In those cases, faith is not above national loyalty.

God created this country.. if the country insults God then the country insults all the religions in this country.. religion is our identity, so is the country of course, but would u rather live in a country where ur faith is ofended?? that wouldnt be called a home.. which is what one's country is after all

Some do, some don't; however, all religious people generally view God as something that trumps anything here on earth. I am curious as to why you think Muslims are any different in this respect than anyone else. Do you know any? Probably not.

Good question. Muslims must love God more than anything else in their lives. Believe and worship One God only without associating any partners with Him. We are commanded to be loyal to the law of the country where we live without developing the love for land. Respect laws and authorities without worshiping them.

I don't know if that is true, since it is hard to distinguish Islam from a fundamentalist government in many parts of the Middle East. The state enforces the religion.

True followers of the Quran condemn terrorism, killing, and other atrocities that are carried out under the name of religion, evenn though these zealots are not even religious. It is an easy method for them to attempt to justify their behavior. True followers of Islam have kind and gentle hearts like most organized religions.

In that respect, their religion goes along with the Christian religion. God, country and family.

Because God owns the country.
