My father was a Palestinian whos family was kicked out into Jordan in 1967 he told me that people would heap praise onto Gamal Abd Al Nasser and Hafez Al Assad for their pro Arab sentiment. He and the young men and women of the generation talked highly of these people said that the Arab World would be great again and were determined that this was the way of the future a strong Arab world and identity. The younger generation saw figures like King Faisal and other Pan Islamists as old fashioned and not within the times. Today while alot of older people still glamour for Pan Arabism my father who would become more religious would today say the pan Islamists were the ones that were right and the secular ideology of the Baath plunged the Arabs in a greater darkness. If the movement is not rooted in Islam we as an Ummah can not hope to achieve success.

What city are they from? Saddam was very popular amongst Sunni Arab Iraqis. The backbone of the regime was in northern Baghdad, Tikrit, Fallujah, Mosul, Ramadi, Kirkuk, Tohook, and other northern Iraqi Arab cities. The peopIe who lived there had more opportunities and access to wealth. The Shia south and Kurdish north were regularly at odds with the Ba’athist. It really kicked into high gear after the Iranian revolution due to a lot of religious Iraqi Shias sympathized with Khomenei’s government. After the 1991 gulf war the Shias and Kurds were vehemently opposed to Saddam, there are some exceptions but they’re few and in between. The Iranian-Iraq war, the 1991 gulf war and the embargo only turned more peopIe against the Ba’athist. Not only that, even amongst the Sunni population saddam was losing support. The embargo had in effect radicalized the population. This is when Saddam implemented the lsIamic Faith campaign in an attempt to quell a future Sunni lsIamic uprising.

The arab muslims conquered so much because of islam not because they were arab, And brought together their hearts. If you had spent all that is in the earth, you could not have brought their hearts together; but Allah brought them together. Indeed, He is Exalted in Might and Wise.
The 20th century must've felt like such a revolutionary point in time when oppressed people all over the world felt like anything was possible. I'm sure the people then were very optimistic. The communist revolutions happening all over Europe and Eastern Asia, the progressive nationalist revolutionary movements happening across Africa, Latin America and West Asia. As a (Christian) black American, I sometimes wonder if the Black Panther Party really thought they'd have a revolution in their lifetimes, but when you consider the state of the world at that time, why wouldn't they? The fall of the USSR triggered a sort of modern dark age in human development, but it feels like we're starting to come out of that again. The "third world" is finding their voice again, and hopefully that encourages my people to become revolutionaries again and fight for our own liberation. I'm hoping the Palestinian people can make it through this genocide, because if Isr*el is destroyed, that truly marks the beginning of the end of this dark age🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
But the issue was that era was not so revolutionary. So many of those so called movements ended in utter and complete failure. The Arab world descendent into complete chaos and millions lost their lives for nothing. And for many of the Arab Muslims they lost their faith. Those revolutionary movements of the 20th century failed

Yes, Somalia was considered an Arab nation too. Surprisingly, the Ba'athist were not colourist and we're very inclusive in their definition of what and who an Arab is. Miseducated people often accuse them of being racist or elitist simply for lack of information and reading
Salam. I'm surprised you only praise the baeth parti and don't talk about all the atrocities they did to their people in Iraq. You should talk about the matter in all perspectives and not only one side of the coin. It started of good, but I was waiting to listen to the rest of the story. But then there was nothing
Interesting content--I think you did a great job capturing the sense of energy, progress, and pride that the people had in those days and the groupings (such as by language, religion, or ethnicity) that the early nationalists had to contend with. On Baathism, I just wanted to add that they viewed the Umayyad Empire as the pinnacle of Arab civilization and strength, Michel Aflaq, despite being Christian in origin and socialist in ideology, was heavily inspired by it, as were many of the early Baathists. Aflaq, by the way, fled to Iraq, and was rumored to have converted to Islam, after decades of arguing that Islam was the cause of "Arab genius". Baathism was also co-founded by a Muslim named Salah al-Din al-Bitar. So, although it was a secular movement and organization, which strongly wanted to keep religion outside of government, its roots, ideas, members, and many of its leaders, were Muslim. Furthermore, there were many strands of Arab nationalism that came before or around the same time as the Baathists and Nasserites. Many religious Muslims seem to cast aspersions against Baathism in particular and Arab nationalism in general, but compare Egypt of today compared to Egypt under Nasser, compare Syria of today to Syria under Hafez al-Assad, compare Iraq of today to Iraq under Saddam Hussein, compare Libya under Gaddafi to Libya of today. Say what you will of those states, at a minimum, they provided a decent standard of living to their people and wrestled away foreign control and influence--both of which seem impossible in the foreseeable future of those lands. In short, Arab nationalists were able to create strong states. On the other hand, the Arab nationalists had an immense problem ceding control and uniting with one another, as is the very nature of politics--no state wanted to cede its power, and the Arab states failed to produce a Prussia that could unite them all, ironically, in part because there were too many strong states and each of them thought they can grow stronger still, and paradoxically, because they devoted too much of their attention vying against the other or having to contend with the Gulf States in the "Arab Cold War".
Fascinating commentary, the only reservation is concerning the point on power because the Syrian Ba'athist party willingly dissolved its offices on the orders of Nasser before the United Arab Republic was formed and Yemen also joined in for a bit before things went sour (as is often the case with power sharing). The Arab League was the fruit of Ba'athists momentum and they were united against Israel whereas the World Muslim League (which represents the Baathist equivalent) has not achieved a fraction of the economic, political or military output that the Arab League has since its inception, it's a point to keep in mind. Many thanks
@@Historyun I agree. The Syrians seem to have been the most willing to merge with other Arab states, before the UAR, they even attempted a merger with Iraq in 1949, but a military coup by Adib Shishakli (the third that year) shot it down on the grounds that Iraq was still led by the Hashemites--who themselves were merely dangling from marionette lines under the hands of the British--Shishakli argued that the merger would be a screen for ceding Syrian sovereignty to imperialism--trading French rulers for British ones. Interestingly, that one plot revealed how interconnected the entire world was, as the French themselves accused the British of having persuaded them to leave Syria, only to then find it inching closer to a merger with Iraq, which in their eyes was a British power play to further consolidate their power in the region, undoing Sykes-Picot. And yet, since Shishakli stopped the merger, he was believed to have been "Washington's man"--since only the Americans could knock out the British. Best wishes and best of luck with your channel.
Muslims should only ever unite upon the Quran and sunnah Arab nationalism wasn't unity but a form of racism as many of these countires are african not ethnically arab. The native indigenous people in places like north Africa suffered erasure of their culture, language and history which is unjust Again muslims should only unite upon the Quran and sunnah but most never will due to their own ignorance and racism and nationalism. As a revert I've noticed most muslims revere culture over deen and prefer their own country people even if they aren't pious to pious individuals who are different to them
الاسلام لم يحرم القومية وهي الاعتزاز بثقافتك في شمال افريقيا كان هناك عرب وسيبقى هناك عرب لا يوجد ولا دولة اجبرت على ان تكون عربية لا نريد ان نرجع الاحتلال الاتراك للعرب فلا اظن ان الاسلام امر باحتلال البلدان وجعل مواطينيها درجة ثانية كما فعلت الدولة العثمانية
As an Iraqi who lived during the period of the Baath Party and studied Baathist thought, I find that the idea is acceptable, but the implementation was not at all like the idea. Note: I am still a batthist, saddam and assad do not represent the Baath.
As a Lebanese 🇱🇧 Muslim I actually agree with the doctrine of the Ba’ath party. I understand the best thing to unite upon is on the Sunnah and the Quran but one thing you have to realise is that the Arab Sham or Levante ( Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Palestine and even Iraq and Egypt) dont only have Muslims that reside under that nationality, there are also many Christians that have interests that Islam can’t unite them upon. As such the best thing to unite upon in that region of the Arab world was our unified Arab heritage or Arabism. It doesn’t discriminate Muslim or Christian but unites on our similarities of Arab heritage. In Lebanon there is still a large following of the Ba’ath party with both Muslims and Christians together hoping for a unified Arab state.
From a political standpoint, there is nothing wrong with a unitary block of nations sharing a common goal and objective despite religious differences. We see the same happening all over the world from ECOWAS to NAFTA. The idea that Arab = Islam is what often leads to the conclusion that a Pan Arab political stance is inherently anti Islam, which is a fallacious premise. The problem begins when Baathism (or any other socio-political ideology) takes precedence over religious identity or attempts to replace it, however - this was not the case with the early phases. Arabs were still Muslims, Christian and Jewish despise uniting on a political agenda. Lebanon is a great case since it's people are divided more or less into 4 equal religious groups and sects. There will never be a point of unification based entirely on faith identity, they can only unite on the shared heritage and identity as Arabs and there is nothing wrong with that. Nations the world over already have this system, it's called citizenship and nationality.
@@Historyunanother major issue is that the economic decisions of the Ba’ath parties where complete failures. The idea that major socialistic stances somehow were going to lead to prosperity for all was just a fiction. Because at the end of the day without taqwa being the center of people’s lives greed always comes in. And a greedy socialist authority leads to death of the society.
@@Historyuna unifying factor could have been piety and public manners, while allowing for autonomy for the different groups. You find that is how pre colonial era was.
@@archivalfootage1 Interesting. Can you name a single socio-political movement that has held government based on Piety and Manners? That is not how power works in the real world. The Zionists are not going to stop because of Piety and Manners
No it was not Zionism. It was an Arab thing about how to defend or how to develop each Arab country. How to keep a strong combined defense something like Nato.

Why are we Somalis in the Arab league.who convinced other Arabs we are Arabs.Sorry I just don’t agree.The Cushitic language is not no where near Arab dialect.And that’s no disrespect to the Arabs.
Arabic is an official language of Somalia, but yes of course Cushitic and Semitic are different. The same can be said for Chad, it's part of the Chadian family of languages, but since Arabic is a co-official language it's an observer member of the league - in fact, it applied for full membership, it just hasn't been granted yet.
@@archivalfootage1 there is no such thing as an ethnic linguistic grouping, language doesn’t tie to ethnicity outside of the Arab world. Are highschoolers in the US Learning Arabic now Arab?
@@jabu1591 If it's their first language, yes they are Arab. End of. No ethnicity is based on genetics, look at the jews 🤣or Han Chinese for example. Arabisation = sinicization = frenchisation (what happened to occitan?)
Pan-Arabism is dead today. Let alone unity you have some arab states out for other arab states. We live in strange times. nonetheless a framework that incorporates Nationalism and staying within the realm of islam is the best way forward. Muslim countries should free themselves nationally then work towards alliance
If they speak Arabic, yes. According to Sati' Al Husri's essay on the principles of Arabism. This includes native populations in East Africa, North Africa and parts of the Caucasus too.

Luke 3:14 “And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.” Isaiah 53:9 “And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Matthew 11:29 “Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.” Matthew 18:3 “And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.” 1 Corinthians 14:20 “Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.” Genesis 6:13 “And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.” Proverbs 10:11 “The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.” Proverbs 28:17 “A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.” Psalms 11:5 “The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.” 2 Corinthians 10:1 “Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:” 1 Peter 3:4 “But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.” Zephaniah 2:3 “Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger.” Titus 3:2 “To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.” 2 Timothy 2:24 “And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,” Romans 13:10 “Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.” CHRIST WAS GENTLE!!!!!!! WE MUST FOLLOW HIS EXAMPLE AND BE GENTLE “ as a little child, No violence, none!!! Galatians 5:22 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,” Mark 10:14 “But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.” Matthew 19:14 “But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”
Romans fight Romans Jews fight Jews, Muslims fight Muslims, buddist fight buddist, Hindu fight Hindu, all align themselves with who they think can give them most gain, only one King is going to unite mankind, in non violence, righteousness

Salam. I'm surprised you only praise the baeth parti and don't talk about all the atrocities they did to their people in Iraq. You should talk about the matter in all perspectives and not only one side of the coin.
It started of good, but I was waiting to listen to the rest of the story. But then there was nothing
Jazak Allah khair for the informative video ❤
You are most welcome
Interesting content--I think you did a great job capturing the sense of energy, progress, and pride that the people had in those days and the groupings (such as by language, religion, or ethnicity) that the early nationalists had to contend with.
On Baathism, I just wanted to add that they viewed the Umayyad Empire as the pinnacle of Arab civilization and strength, Michel Aflaq, despite being Christian in origin and socialist in ideology, was heavily inspired by it, as were many of the early Baathists. Aflaq, by the way, fled to Iraq, and was rumored to have converted to Islam, after decades of arguing that Islam was the cause of "Arab genius". Baathism was also co-founded by a Muslim named Salah al-Din al-Bitar. So, although it was a secular movement and organization, which strongly wanted to keep religion outside of government, its roots, ideas, members, and many of its leaders, were Muslim. Furthermore, there were many strands of Arab nationalism that came before or around the same time as the Baathists and Nasserites.
Many religious Muslims seem to cast aspersions against Baathism in particular and Arab nationalism in general, but compare Egypt of today compared to Egypt under Nasser, compare Syria of today to Syria under Hafez al-Assad, compare Iraq of today to Iraq under Saddam Hussein, compare Libya under Gaddafi to Libya of today. Say what you will of those states, at a minimum, they provided a decent standard of living to their people and wrestled away foreign control and influence--both of which seem impossible in the foreseeable future of those lands.
In short, Arab nationalists were able to create strong states. On the other hand, the Arab nationalists had an immense problem ceding control and uniting with one another, as is the very nature of politics--no state wanted to cede its power, and the Arab states failed to produce a Prussia that could unite them all, ironically, in part because there were too many strong states and each of them thought they can grow stronger still, and paradoxically, because they devoted too much of their attention vying against the other or having to contend with the Gulf States in the "Arab Cold War".
Fascinating commentary, the only reservation is concerning the point on power because the Syrian Ba'athist party willingly dissolved its offices on the orders of Nasser before the United Arab Republic was formed and Yemen also joined in for a bit before things went sour (as is often the case with power sharing).
The Arab League was the fruit of Ba'athists momentum and they were united against Israel whereas the World Muslim League (which represents the Baathist equivalent) has not achieved a fraction of the economic, political or military output that the Arab League has since its inception, it's a point to keep in mind.
Many thanks
@@Historyun I agree.
The Syrians seem to have been the most willing to merge with other Arab states, before the UAR, they even attempted a merger with Iraq in 1949, but a military coup by Adib Shishakli (the third that year) shot it down on the grounds that Iraq was still led by the Hashemites--who themselves were merely dangling from marionette lines under the hands of the British--Shishakli argued that the merger would be a screen for ceding Syrian sovereignty to imperialism--trading French rulers for British ones.
Interestingly, that one plot revealed how interconnected the entire world was, as the French themselves accused the British of having persuaded them to leave Syria, only to then find it inching closer to a merger with Iraq, which in their eyes was a British power play to further consolidate their power in the region, undoing Sykes-Picot. And yet, since Shishakli stopped the merger, he was believed to have been "Washington's man"--since only the Americans could knock out the British.
Best wishes and best of luck with your channel.

So interesting, I need to see the rest of this. I'm guessing it's part of the shadow history course on the website

Well explained unfortunately the current young rules are not learning from the history of pan ara ism
Muslims should only ever unite upon the Quran and sunnah
Arab nationalism wasn't unity but a form of racism as many of these countires are african not ethnically arab. The native indigenous people in places like north Africa suffered erasure of their culture, language and history which is unjust
Again muslims should only unite upon the Quran and sunnah but most never will due to their own ignorance and racism and nationalism. As a revert I've noticed most muslims revere culture over deen and prefer their own country people even if they aren't pious to pious individuals who are different to them

As an Iraqi who lived during the period of the Baath Party and studied Baathist thought, I find that the idea is acceptable, but the implementation was not at all like the idea.
Note: I am still a batthist, saddam and assad do not represent the Baath.
Yes. They appropriated the movement. Assad sentenced Aflaq and Bitar to death in absentia
I have a feeling the comments will be spicy .....
Akhi I would like to recommend the book Big Isreal by Grant F. Smith. It’s very fascinating and I’m curious about your thoughts
Barakallahu Feekum. I will take a look at this recommendation
As a Lebanese 🇱🇧 Muslim I actually agree with the doctrine of the Ba’ath party. I understand the best thing to unite upon is on the Sunnah and the Quran but one thing you have to realise is that the Arab Sham or Levante ( Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Palestine and even Iraq and Egypt) dont only have Muslims that reside under that nationality, there are also many Christians that have interests that Islam can’t unite them upon. As such the best thing to unite upon in that region of the Arab world was our unified Arab heritage or Arabism. It doesn’t discriminate Muslim or Christian but unites on our similarities of Arab heritage. In Lebanon there is still a large following of the Ba’ath party with both Muslims and Christians together hoping for a unified Arab state.
From a political standpoint, there is nothing wrong with a unitary block of nations sharing a common goal and objective despite religious differences. We see the same happening all over the world from ECOWAS to NAFTA.
The idea that Arab = Islam is what often leads to the conclusion that a Pan Arab political stance is inherently anti Islam, which is a fallacious premise.
The problem begins when Baathism (or any other socio-political ideology) takes precedence over religious identity or attempts to replace it, however - this was not the case with the early phases. Arabs were still Muslims, Christian and Jewish despise uniting on a political agenda.
Lebanon is a great case since it's people are divided more or less into 4 equal religious groups and sects. There will never be a point of unification based entirely on faith identity, they can only unite on the shared heritage and identity as Arabs and there is nothing wrong with that. Nations the world over already have this system, it's called citizenship and nationality.
@@Historyun well said. Keep up your great content
@@Historyunanother major issue is that the economic decisions of the Ba’ath parties where complete failures. The idea that major socialistic stances somehow were going to lead to prosperity for all was just a fiction. Because at the end of the day without taqwa being the center of people’s lives greed always comes in. And a greedy socialist authority leads to death of the society.
@@Historyuna unifying factor could have been piety and public manners, while allowing for autonomy for the different groups. You find that is how pre colonial era was.
@@archivalfootage1 Interesting. Can you name a single socio-political movement that has held government based on Piety and Manners? That is not how power works in the real world. The Zionists are not going to stop because of Piety and Manners
No it was not Zionism. It was an Arab thing about how to defend or how to develop each Arab country. How to keep a strong combined defense something like Nato.

Why are we Somalis in the Arab league.who convinced other Arabs we are Arabs.Sorry I just don’t agree.The Cushitic language is not no where near Arab dialect.And that’s no disrespect to the Arabs.
Arabic is an official language of Somalia, but yes of course Cushitic and Semitic are different. The same can be said for Chad, it's part of the Chadian family of languages, but since Arabic is a co-official language it's an observer member of the league - in fact, it applied for full membership, it just hasn't been granted yet.
Most Arab countries aren’t Arab, they just speak Arabic. “Arabized” Nations
Arab is an ethnic linguistic grouping of people. An Arab is one whose language is Arabic.
@@archivalfootage1 there is no such thing as an ethnic linguistic grouping, language doesn’t tie to ethnicity outside of the Arab world. Are highschoolers in the US Learning Arabic now Arab?
@@jabu1591 If it's their first language, yes they are Arab. End of. No ethnicity is based on genetics, look at the jews 🤣or Han Chinese for example. Arabisation = sinicization = frenchisation (what happened to occitan?)

@@Historyun Many thanks for the dedication of checking the comments. Good video as well! JazakAllah
@@uta9944 you are most welcome
Pan-Arabism is dead today. Let alone unity you have some arab states out for other arab states. We live in strange times. nonetheless a framework that incorporates Nationalism and staying within the realm of islam is the best way forward. Muslim countries should free themselves nationally then work towards alliance
Are Armenian arab
If they speak Arabic, yes. According to Sati' Al Husri's essay on the principles of Arabism. This includes native populations in East Africa, North Africa and parts of the Caucasus too.
@@Historyun I know one thing for sure, you can't be black and Arab at the same time. Speaking French is not gonna make you French!

Baathism was equal to zionism in the 80's and 90's.
And that is why it royally failed and led to some of the most vicious violence we have seen in the 20th century.
@@archivalfootage1 Certainly you nailed it. Cause and effect. The west and the Baathis are both to be blamed.
@@LeixWUxLong the irony is so many only want to point out the disastrous policies of the West, but will completely ignore the role the other side plays here
On what basis have you made such a conclusion?
@@ggiswhatitis3460 To begin with Saddam gassed my village, and massacred 8-10.000 men specifically in my region, displaced the Kurds of Kirkuk in an effort to lessen the majority of Kurds there and replace them with Iraqis. Saddam massacred many thousands of more Kurds in other areas and not just in my region and did the same thing of displacing Kurds in other Kurdi inhabited cities and areas. Just to mention a fraction.
