Zeynep I respect your work but you seem completely unaware how the 19th century framework of liberal nationalism created the most violent logic of exclusion, civil war, and persecution that history has to offer - culminating in the Holocaust. And not by coincidence
Can a liberal society after it has executed its logic of uniformity to the end and eliminated every difference then live with peace between its members? Yes, but you have to look to the past from where it comes and the future (that state of uniformity never lasts..)
What logic of uniformity? Shared jurisprudence isn't imposed uniformity (though group-membership based ones will be!). And also, you know stuff happened in Europe after WWII? You think post-WWII liberal Europe was less pluralistic and less free than the Ottoman millet system?
Honestly don't even know what to say to such assertions.
