You are confusing the superficial trappings of a modern society with with how people actually feel. Left to their own devices the Jews and Muslims would kill each other to the last man. Same for India and Pakistan. A Tsar from 500 years ago would recognize the Russia of today. Tribal rulers from 500 years ago would recognize the tribal societies in Africa today. One thing that has changed is that we now have the ability to wipe out the entire planet in a heartbeat. Now that's amazing progress.
