Nationalist Islam

Nationalist Islam refers to a movement where Islamic identity and principles are used to promote national interests, sovereignty, and cultural unity within a specific country. It emphasizes integrating religious values with national pride, often advocating for governance aligned with Islamic teachings. Unlike global or pan-Islamist ideologies that seek international unity among Muslims, nationalist Islam focuses on strengthening the nation-state, preserving local religious traditions, and asserting independence from external influences. It can influence politics, societal norms, and policy-making, shaping how religion and nationalism intertwine in different contexts.
