But to which Islam do/should one pledge their allegiance? To the Sunnis, to the Shia's, to the Wahhabis, to the Sufis? |

"Perhaps one day" How is this to happen? What catalyst will bring it about? |

Let's assume we are "one world" who or what should rule over that "oneness"? The problem with getting rid of nation-states is that the only other alternative is centralized world government which panders to a certain population and alienates the rest, so it becomes a autocracy. What should rule us all apart from the nation-state?

Hello & Salam For a moment I had thought this thread was for "N A T I O N A L I S M". After your Hello & Salam I am delightfully confused. |

Hello & Salam: Here is a flash presentation on the structural and institutional causes of war, based on the work of the sociologist C. Wright Mills (1916-1962). Very relevant to understanding the world scene and the International system today |

When real education (not mentioning "schooling" here) is lacking we stumble into all kinds of pits. Racism and nationalism are just some of those pits.

Not sure about nationalism, just that I meet many Moslems who put down ther Moslems like: "Oh those Arabs they are....." "Those Pakistanis are not good Moslems..." As if the group represents the individual. Many of these 'nation-state' boundaries were created during colonialism or post-colonialism. They are false boundries thay gives people wrong identities and focus on the wrong thing We are all one world. It does not do anyone any good if one area is doing well economically and another is going through terrible times. Yes we need organization, local social, economical and political structures. But those should not be our identity as human beings. One problem, in my mind, is that we all seperate more from each other. We lose the inter-connectedness. With technology we should be more connected not less. Nationalism continues that divide.

Masha'Allah, tears formed i my eyes when I read these preceding posts.
"Islam unites nations" What a beautiful notion! Mere words cannot describe the love I feel for you, my brothers and sisters. May Allah unite our unworthy hearts once more. BTW, I myself am a Malay, Malaysian Muslim but I agree with everything my brother MOCKBA has posted and none that utd4ever has (May Allah SWT guide you nonetheless, akhi). Nationalism is rotten.
