The Reality of Loyalty to the Nation According to Proponents of Nationalism
0:12
If we were to trace the concept of nationalism
0:17
We would find its origin in the secular West
0:20
Which separates political relations from religious relations
0:25
And replaces loyalty to Allah and religion with it
0:28
And prioritizes it over any other loyalty
0:32
So what do the proponents of nationalism want
0:35
And what do they call for loyalty to, to the exclusion of all else?
0:38
Is it the land of the nation, or its development, or its people?
0:43
And so on.
0:45
It is an ambiguous concept
0:47
Behind which hypocrites who hold power in most countries hide and take refuge
0:53
To pass off the enslavement of people in its name
0:56
To their ruler who has absolute authority over the country
0:59
And to the clique surrounding him.
1:02
So the reality of this call
1:04
Is allegiance to the ruler and his state
1:07
Even if that causes harm to the nation and its oppressed citizens
1:13
It is a distorted call in many Muslim countries
1:18
And its proponents are not sincere in their nationalistic claims
1:22
And in reality, they are enemies of the nation
1:26
And they only care about their personal interests
1:30
Even if that comes through treason and collaboration with the nation's lurking enemies.
