It is impossible to establish stability and solidarity in a society which includes a major group or people who feel politically excluded or victimized, even if such people are of the same race or religion with the majority. The two pillars of stability are justice and equality. Social peace and stability can be achieved only through a democratic state organization and constitutionally based rule of law which guarantees equality to all social groups. Poverty and underdevelopment, while aggravating the situation, are not the primary causes of the problem. Citizenship and ethnic, religious, and cultural identity should not be confused.
Citizenship is a legal phenomenon which includes existing diversities in the society.
Official authorities should not intervene in these domains because any intervention would make the state, as already evidenced, a proponent of one side. This harms social solidarity. A reductionist nationalism based on the ethnic identity of the majority or a privileged minority can not ensure stability. It carries, in itself, the seeds of exclusion and segregation. We see those measures as prerequisite to preventing further politicization of ethnic and religious differences.
