No. It's actually the other way around. Morality is generally a basis for religious tradition, among other elements of any particular religion's history and culture. On the other hand, there are many who claim that there can be no morality without a sense of absolute right and wrong, which is one of the principles found in many religions. Therefore, it can work both ways. I agree with the above answer. We do not do things simply because a religious body or scripture says to do them. I have performed an experiment several times, when talking to a hardcore christian about religion I will show them the bits of The Bible that tell them to shun un-believers (like myself), refuse them entrance into their house, etc etc - not a one has ever actually done it. I can show you parts of the bible which condone slavery, I can't imagine any christian would, upon reading them, go out and advocate we bring slavery back.

Both the Byzantine Empire and the Islamic Caliphates used the dominant religion (Orthodox Christianity and Sunni Islam respectively) to justify wars of conquest. The religious leadership also helped create an easy way of tracking individuals in the empire by centralizing worship and registries. The provincial divisions in the empire were reinforced by the hierarchical division of religious leaderships (Patriarchs/Synods and Muftis respectively). Additionally, the religions provided a code of ethics that would serve as a basis to the legal codices of the countries.

Yes, Israeli Arabs can served in the Israeli armed services. However, they are not required to do so, it's on a voluntary basis. Israeli Arab minorities like the Druze and the Circassians do have mandatory male service in the Israeli army. The Bedouins serve voluntarily, but have a relatively high service rate.

Many of them, especially in the older generation, see service in the Israeli Army as a betrayal of their ethnic Palestinian nature.
