The modern state of [[Israel]] is another example of a nation state. Although it was founded in the twentieth century, the state has its roots in the [[Old Testament]] of the [[Bible]]; so as an idea, it predates the modern concept of the nation state by thousands of years. This could be considered an example of [[biblical foreknowledge]].

==Islam==
[[Islam]] categorically rejects the concept of nation state and views entities such as the [[Arab League]] or [[Organisation of Islamic Cooperation]] as [[tyrannical]] extensions of [[Western]] dominance and [[imperialism]]. A citizen of Islam, for instance, should not be required to furnish a passport to fulfill his religious obligation - a journey to [[Mecca]] (the Fifth Pilar of Islam) when entering [[Saudi Arabia]] or jouneying across other so-called 'Islamic Republics'.
