Re: Islamically can you join a national army...
Hareem, until muslims are self-sufficient there will be different muslim nations in the world. It is easy to say we are one ummah but to live it is another challenge.
And Inshallah! when the day comes when we are one ummah and we defend the Islamic territory of muslims, that would still be nationalism with the color of religion. The ideal of the state that people live for is what forms the foundation of nationalism.
At present we are different nations. Once we unite we are single nation of muslims or ummah but we would still be nationalist for the interest of Islam in the state we live in.
yeah but don't forget you're still missing the head :)
