Brother, no nation is bad except some of them just as we have corrupt politician US also has bad plotician who think and act bad against the world so I think we should not pray bad about Any nation.
Remember when Kuffar were physically harming Mohammad pbuh and angel jibreel came and ask to throw the uhud mountain on Kuffar, Hazoor Pakpbuh did not allow him to do so. Instead of cursing Hepbuh prayed and said Allah will guide people amongst Kuffar. So Alway pray for them. may Allah Guide them to Sirat-e-Mustaqeem. Amen!
