You Should NOT Be Proud To Be Patriotic

. .
Such a pointless argument. What difference does it make?
it makes all the difference not having a moral compass make you a thug like gau raksak or RSS. sooner or later current if our govt will make mistakes rather then follow like BJP thugs in the name of patriotic duty judging others patriotism on a scale (Allah reham farma). We have to use brain other wise we are no better than RSS .

Muhammad (PBUH) too was a 'patriot'

Whenever the Prophet (ﷺ) returned from a journey and observed the walls of Medina, he would make his Mount go fast, and if he was on an animal (i.e. a horse), he would make it gallop because of his love for Medina.

I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "None plots against the people of Medina but that he will be dissolved (destroyed) like the salt is dissolved in water."

There is difference between nationalist and patriot. Patriotism is being proud and be critical of ones country at the same time. Nationalism is patriotism on steroids with supremacist attitudes.
 
.
Patriotism means loyal to your country, and Nationalism /Nationalism gives ultimate preference to National Interest of his country

A Country where "National Interest" is never a taught in schools it typically develops as a person gets older and realizes the mistakes his nation makes

A country where people look for self interest more then for their country suffers from Taxation collection and also suffers from various social issues. People normally consider this as lack of Nationalism , Nationalism plays a vital role for nations to become fully developed

A typical Nationalist will

a) Buy Local
b) Buy Local Currency
c) Reduce Imports from Outside
d) Pro Local Jobs , Reduced Immigration
e) Pro Local Services (Hospitals, Schools , Water, Power , Gas)


A Nationalist will drive a Car made in Pakistan cost bit extra , instead of Imported Car from Germany
A Nationalist will buy in Local Restaurant
A Nationalist will buy local Snacks (Locally produced Nuts and Fruits vs Imported Candies)
A Nationalist will argue appointment of Leaders who never lived in Pakistan Nor keep their wealth in Pakistan
A Nationalist will Buy Local Textiles (Shalwar Qamis, Shoes , Bags, Sports goods, Jeans , Shirts)
A Nationalist will take the Bus to Work (if available) vs Buying Fuel imported from outside and drive to work
A Nationalist will Protest at Release of Criminals from Prison (Politically Rich Corrupt)

A Nationalist will give proper focus on Taxation Payment and Encourage others

A Patriot will simply state they love their country . But would not necessarily go to extra steps a Nationalist Takes to ensure their country is #4-5 in world


A true Nationalist will dump his old political party , if he sees enough evidence of corruption and lying by a party's leader. He would never defend a criminal Money Launderer

Patriotism /Nationalist sometimes are used interchangeably , as a Nationalist is Patriot at heart

Nationalism is dirt. To a nationalist, wrong and right doesn't matter and his little pocket of land is all that matters.

The biggest example of this are India and Chinese. Indians use nationalism to justify the abhorrent crimes of their government and don't feel an iota of guilt over the human rights violation.

Chinese have a bloody history and the government uses nationalism to justify the pure Hitler like horrors Chairman Mao Dung and the current government are doing against Chinese own and Uighur Muslims. Anything for the greater China.

Nationalist people don't have a spine and any morals. They will support anything for their little pocket of land. We saw how America used false flag operations to justify the war everywhere around the world and it was okay for nationalists.

There's nothing to be proud of about nationalism. By becoming a nationalist you admit you don't have any morals and can be exploited whichever way in the name of small piece of land.

Islam and nationalism are opposite concepts. What Islam wants you to be?

“O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even if it be against yourselves, your parents, and your relatives, or whether it is against the rich or the poor...” (Quran 4:135)

According to another Quranic passage:

“Let not the hatred of a people swerve you away from justice. Be just, for this is closest to righteousness…” (Quran 5:8)

Even if it goes against yourself, be just. Even if its against someone you hate, be just.

You can't be a nationalist and be just. That's like an oxymoron.

Why is a Quranist quoting ahadith he doesn't consider reliable?
