| | Requiem for Arab Nationalism - Middle East Quarterly - Winter 2003 |
 | | Arab nationalists advocated the rejuvenation of the Arab nation, its political unity, its secularism, and its sovereignty. | | | 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. | | | It is not that the Shi‘ites did not believe in Arab nationalism, or that they did not consider themselves to be Arabs. |

| | Arab Nationalism and the Jewish State |
| | Arab nationalism had always been regarded skeptically by the Shiites of Iraq and the Maronites of Lebanon, and with hostility by the precursors of contemporary Islamism. | | | The career of Arab nationalism ended with the utterly and completely devastating defeat of the Arabs by the Israelis in 1967, which proved that a revolutionary dictatorship was no more effective than a traditionalist monarchy. | | | Egypt was the most populous Arab country, had a geographically central location, and also had the most developed media-industry in the Arabic-speaking world; if any country was to play the role of Prussia or Piedmont in uniting the Arabs, it would be Egypt. |

| | 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. | | | The Arab nationalist state under Faysal in Damascus proved to be chaotic, and his subsequent reign in Iraq rested on the bayonets of the British. | | | Arab nationalists had always regarded Islamic loyalty as a potential rival, and had tried to disarm it by incorporating Islam as a primary element in Arab nationalism. |

| | An Iraqis take on Arab Nationalism and Political Islam |
| | Arab nationalism, in contrast, was the offspring of political activities by various Arab revolutionaries and secret organizations in Istanbul. | | | The presentation focused on Arab nationalism and Islam as the two most potent ideological forces and political movements of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries that aimed at the fundamental restructuring of Arab society. | | | Jumping ahead to the resurgence of political Islam and Arab nationalism in the second half of the twentieth century, it was their polemics against the West, which Dawisha describes as the mobilizing "other," that helped crystallize the contemporary movements and propel them into power. |

| | Arab nationalism: Information From Answers.com |
| | Arab nationalists generally were not particularly religious, and did not promote observance of Islamic laws as such; however, the fact that most Arabs were Muslims was used as an important building block in creating a new Arab Muslim national identity. | | | So let all the Arabs today be Muhammed." Since the Arabs had reached their greatest glories through the expansion of Islam, Islam was seen as a universal message as well as an expresion of secular genious on the part of the Arab peoples. | | | Throughout the Middle East, regional nationalisms and allegiances to the post-WWI states such as Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq partly compete and partly coexist with broader Arab nationalism. |

| | Arab Nationalism: Is it Obsolete? |
| | For the Arab elites were overwhelmingly interested in politics and in carrying on a political dialog in the west. | | | All of this message was strengthened by a certain political belief, shared between Arab nationalists and western liberals, that the political conflicts-over Palestine, imperialism, revolution, and the rest were merely manifestations of a temporary and unnecessary historical phase resulting from the shortsightedness or arrogance of certain western statesmen, not from a clash of real interests. | | | The ideas of nationalism are still very much alive in intellectual circles, but those circles are isolated and as an integrative force in Arab society the future of the ideas is doubtful. |

| | Postwar Arab Nationalism |
| | Churchill supported the Arabs, especially since the war was not yet over, and he had no desire to cope with an aroused Arab nationalism in the Middle East. | | | The Arabs were further aided by their control over vast Middle East oil reserves, which appeared particularly indispensable to the fuel-hungry West during the postwar years. | | | Above all, Arab nationalism had been aroused by large-scale Jewish immigration into the British-held Palestine mandate during the 1930s. |

| | Arab Nationalism and Islamic World Dominion |
| | Arab spokesmen invariably protest that their quarrel is not with the Jews, but with Zionism, using code-words not readily understood in the West like: “Jewish” means tolerance toward the "natural" condition of that people, as a protected minority; "Zionist" means the intolerable quality of Jewish sovereignty, while “Israeli” is not utterly unacceptable, if "de-Zionised,” i.e. | | | Oddly enough, the cradle of Arab nationalism was Protestant and Catholic institutions of higher education, while the striking example of Zionism provided the incentive which in the 1920’s broadened the base of Arab nationalism. | | | Indeed, Arabs appear genuinely puzzled that the Jews should act so totally out of character and issued a warning that their toleration as minorities around the world is jeopardized by the insistence of constituting the majority in one country, Israel. |

| | End of Arab Nationalism: What Next? (by Yamin Zakaria) - Media Monitors Network (MMN) |
| | Arab nationalism by its very nature is exclusive to the Arabs and has created a line of segregation with the rest of the Muslim non-Arabs. | | | Simultaneously the Arabs, despite possessing a common language, religion and culture are moving in the opposite direction, as each state attempts to uphold the new forms of national identity engineered by the former colonialist. | | | The idea of Arab nationalism was initiated in the last 100 years of the declining Ottoman state. |

| | In many cases Arab governments proclaiming a pan-Arab nationalist ideology are held to blame for this state of affairs, and political parties driven by Islam find more support. | | | Forced underground into the dark and fevered world of secret cells, however, Arab hostility to America and its allies could bolster America's enemies in the "war on terror," observers in the region warn. | | | This attitude finds a firm foundation in the general sense of malaise that assails ordinary Arabs across the region - deprived of job prospects, political freedoms, and hope for the future. |

| | Islamic History in Arabia and Middle East |
| | Most Arab countries, for example, have embraced the concept of the sovereign nation-state and Western patterns of political administration: parliaments, political parties, and constitutions. | | | Elsewhere in the Arab world, meanwhile, the last vestiges of European political dominance were being eliminated. | | | By the end of the 1970s the Arabs, having assumed control of their own destinies, had emerged as full and independent participants in the affairs of the world. |

| | DSS Hubris: Arab Nationalism |
| | We are finding out that despite historical claims by Syria, the people of Lebanon do not see themselves as lost cousins of the Syrians, but an independent people. | | | An interesting comment from Instapundit concerning the protests in Beirut has me thinking: | | | Arabs have local and national concerns like any other people, and they are increasingly self-identified as citizens of their countries rather than as Arabs, or even their religious identities. |
