That's true...but they still had nationalism....but it's not allowed to brag or think that you're better cos ur a Saudi Arabian, or from this particular coutry

I think, correct me if im wrong

Yeah,Nationalism is Harram

Sometimes i get offended by things like this

Just because we are not arab we cant be in a league or whatever it is

Yeah...i soppose it creates disunity everywhere in the world! And the Muslim ummah lacks that so badly....the best thing to do is to stop all sorts of Nationalism like the Arab league
