 | | Arab nationalism declares that Arabs are united in a shared history, culture and language. | | | Following the Islamic conquest of the 8th century, however, the language of the nomadic Arabs came to be regarded as preserving the highest purity by the grammarians following Abi Ishaq, and the term kalam al-ʿArab "language of the Arabs" came to denote the uncontaminated language of the Bedouins. | | | Throughout much of this area, the Arabs spread the religion of Islam and the Arabic language (the language of the Qur'an) through conversion and assimilation. |

| | Arab Nationalism was another strong force in the region which peaked during the mid 20th Century and was professed by many leaders in Egypt, Algeria, Libya, Syria, and Iraq. | | | The majority of people in the Arab world adhere to Islam and the religion has official status in most countries. | | | This contrasts with the situation in the wider Islamic world, where Arabic retains its cultural prestige primarily as the language of religion and of theological scholarship, but the populace generally speak do not speak Arabic languages. |

| | Jewishness was reinterpreted not just as religion and tradition, but also as an active ethnocentric, chauvinist, and anti-Arab nationalism. | | | Here apparently exists the overlapping space between popular religion and popular nationalism, where the religious commandments and its beliefs are part of the beliefs and commandments obligating a person as member of the Jewish nation. | | | Paradoxically, the answer to the legitimacy problem of the Jewish state in an "Arab region" in the post-colonial age was found in the essence of the state as a Jewish state in the religious meaning of the term. |

| | Dhimmi Watch: Arab Christian longs for dhimmitude |
| | While Arab nationalism was not anti-religious in its secularism, it was always emphatic in acknowledging the equality of Christians and Muslims, and the need to leave religion to the spiritual sphere. | | | Not only among Arabs, but also in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Sudan... | | | Arab Christian institutions, such as schools, hospitals and non-governmental organizations, which are often funded by Christian churches in the West, continue in the same tradition to promote the interests of their people, especially in the face of invasion, occupation or aggression by the West. |

| | Dawisha, A.: Arab Nationalism in the Twentieth Century: From Triumph to Despair. |
| | Dawisha argues that Arab nationalism--which, he says, was inspired by nineteenth-century German Romantic nationalism--really took root after World War I and not in the nineteenth century, as many believe, and that it blossomed only in the 1950s and 1960s under the charismatic leadership of Egypt's Gamal 'Abd al-Nasir. | | | But people tend to forget the majesty that Arab nationalism once was. | | | Like a great dynasty that falls to ruin and is eventually remembered more for its faults than its feats, Arab nationalism is remembered mostly for its humiliating rout in the 1967 Six Day War, for inter-Arab divisions, and for words and actions distinguished by their meagerness. |

| | Yet while Rabbi Uziel emphasized humanistic Jewish nationalism as a part of the universalistic whole, Rabbi Amiel saw the combination between spiritual individualism and universalism as the core identity, according to the Torah. | | | It is not surprising that "deconstructionist" theories of nationalism are exploited by the ideological enemies of the Jewish state but it is also ironical that the same people who make use of these theories to advance their political agenda are themselves declared nationalists. | | | Although nationalism does not need to be militaristic, romantic or fascist, it is generally vilified as such by prominent scholars, who try to show that nationalism is both an artificial and dangerous ideology - and thus an illegitimate phenomenon. |

| | Modern anti-Zionism in the Arab world comes from a variety of ideological backgrounds, different ones being emphasised by different groups or in different countries—local nationalism, pan-Arab (or more rarely pan-Syrian) nationalism, Islamism, socialism, and anti-colonialism, to name a few—and is nearly universal as a popular sentiment. | | | Among the governments of the Arab and Muslim world, public advocacy of the destruction of Israel is a minority position, which only Iran now openly takes. | | | Arab socialist narratives differ little from those of the rest of the world, which are covered in other sections of this article. |

The war was repackaged as a conflict between Jews and Palestinians as a public relations gimmick by the Arab fascist regimes. |

| | AFF's Brainwash :: Chris Roach :: Conservatism or Anti-Intellectual Nationalism? |
| | A very interesting piece by Michael Beran in today's National Review that suggests conservatives are becoming too anti-intellectual and dogmatic, letting a crude nationalism and militarism replace genuine thoughtfulness on matters of policy. | | | Now a tinny militaristic nationalism is coupled with an odd amalgamation of PC notions on immigration and pro-business fetishism. | | | Witness the freaks at LGF; the slightest attempt to criticize the US, express notions of even-handedness towards European or Arab nations, or to deviate from the party line brings a torrent of criticism, much of it ad hominem or ignorant. |

| | Arab Nationalism: Mistaken Identity by Martin Kramer |
| | Arab nationalism acknowledged them as fellow Arabs, but it glorified precisely that "golden age" of Arab history that the Shi'ites mourned as disastrous, during which their heroes were martyred by the very same caliphs lionized in Arab nationalist historiography. | | | Arab nationalism has suffered yet another blow, and has retreated almost to its point of origin, inspiring a few societies and clubs in Beirut, and some newspapers and journals published in Europe. | | | Arab nationalism, which became "anti-imperialist" after 1920, became "revolutionary" after 1948. |

| | Requiem for Arab Nationalism - Middle East Quarterly - Winter 2003 |
| | Arab nationalism, until its final decline late in the twentieth century, continued to embody the tenets of German cultural nationalism. | | | Arab nationalism found itself squeezed out of the political arena by the dominance of state nationalism at the official level, and radical Islam at the popular level. | | | By then, Arab cultural nationalism had emerged triumphant over other competing ideologies and identities, capturing the hearts and minds of that quintessentially nationalist generation, a generation that fervently believed in Arab nationalism as the elixir by which a glittering past would be transformed into a glorious future. |

| | Sample Chapter for Dawisha, A.: Arab Nationalism in the Twentieth Century: From Triumph to Despair. |
| | As a concept, "Arab nationalism" has tended to be used in the literature of Middle Eastern politics and history interchangeably with other terms such as Arabism, Pan-Arabism, and even sometimes Arab radicalism, thus blending the sentiment of cultural proximity with the desire for political action. | | | The reason is self-evident: the desire for, as well as the pursuit of, political unity for the Arabs, which is how Western literature has defined and portrayed pan-Arabism, is incorporated, in the minds and discourse of the Arab nationalists themselves, in the very definition of Arab nationalism itself. | | | It is the recognition of the political element, centered on the ultimate goal of Arab political unity and the desire for a unitary Arab state, that anchors the definition of Arab nationalism to be used in this study. |

Baathist ideology differs from this older sentiment in making socialism an integral element of pan-Arab nationalism. | | | At a broader level, Baath Party ideology reflects the viewpoint of many Syrian citizens in championing pan-Arab nationalism and proposing unification of all Arab countries into one Arab nation stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Arabian Sea, transcending what are regarded as arbitrary and artificial borders drawn by Ottoman or European colonial rulers. | | | However, Syrian religious minorities fear that extreme pan-Arab nationalism would entail Islamic fundamentalism because Islam is an important common denominator of many Arabs and a potential vehicle for uniting the Arab countries. |

| | "Arab nationalism was dominant by virtue of being the official ideology of the political regimes in the most important Arab states, especially in Egypt, Syria, and Iraq after military nationalist circles seized power and in Algeria after the war of independence. | | | It wasn't nationalism which originally drew Arabs to Israel; it was richer and better living thanks to the Jewish movement to re-populate the area and the Jews who turned deserts into gardens, however like most nascent movements, a sense of belonging did develop for all of those who made their homes there. | | | Therefore, though an Arab world certainly exists, it is nevertheless divided into four distinct areas (the Maghreb, Egypt and Sudan, the Chain, and the Arabian Peninsula), although within the latter, Yemen, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and the Gulf states are all quite distinct. |
