		Arab nationalism's emergence as a major political force was marked by the Egyptian revolution of 1952.

		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.

	Arab Nationalism: Mistaken Identity by Martin Kramer
		Arab nationalism, once inspired by the West's liberalism, began to redefine itself as a negation of its imperialism.
		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.
		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: Is it Obsolete?
		Arab nationalism promoted social unity because its message reinforced the religious and cultural values of the common people, assuring them of the worth of their heritage, their brotherhood, and their destiny as a community in the face of foreign domination.
		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.
		It was thanks to the Arab nationalist movement that something of this belief was absorbed also at the mass level, so that the masses, who themselves shared very little of the experience of the educated classes, generally accepted the evolution of those classes and their secular life-styles quite smoothly.

	Arab Nationalism and Political Culture
		The Arab world is not homogeneous, and a state ideology founded on the nationality of only one group is destined to exclude the minorities living within the borders.
		Probably the Arabs of Lebanon performed their duty to Arab nationalism unintentionally, because the Muslims, other Arab Christians, and in fact most groups within Lebanon believed that the system that had instituted Maronite political hegemony was unfair and they desired more power for themselves.
		Arab nationalism seems a bad choice for a political ideology in a country with significant minority populations who feel threatened as a minority in a nation-state.

	End of Arab Nationalism: What Next? (by Yamin Zakaria) - Media Monitors Network (MMN) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		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.
		Those Arab regimes and nationalist ought to remember, that it is only a matter of time when the US comes knocking on their doors with the same demand for ‘democracy’ and ‘liberty’, which would translate into their demise, their children would go back to herding goats in the desert.

	Arab Nationalism and Islamic World Dominion
		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.
		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.
		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.

	DSS Hubris: Arab Nationalism
		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.
