I disagree. Nationalism is very much needed. It helps unite people. In a country like Iraq which has been unstable for various reasons since the late 1970's, national unity is very much needed. It makes no sense for Iraqi Sunni Arabs and Iraqi Shia Arabs (same people, same ethnicity, same language, same ancestry, same culture, only difference is geography (not always moreover), sect and political views (but not always) ) to fight over petty differences or act like proxies for foreigners, when there is an obvious enemy (Barzanistan) among them who not only confirms being an enemy by their actions but moreover have illegally stolen Iraqi land as a consequence of the emergence of ISIS and the subsequent collapse (structural) of the army in that region of Iraq.

What you wrote at the end is of course something that will come naturally when the house is in order which is a question of time.

Anyway most Arabs are nationalists (proud people) so it does not matter. The problem is usually outside interference or internal struggles (political and most recently sectarian mostly) and regimes in power.

Islam and nationalism (not talking about fascism here or outright racism) are not world's apart.
