Re: watanParasti
“Idiomatically, asabiyyah is man’s supporting his people to whom he belongs, whether they are right or wrong, oppressing or oppressed. The belonging to these people can be due to kith and kin, ethnicity, color, birthplace, citizenship, school of thought, or a group of people with common interest.”

In Arabic this type of watanprassti called Asabiyah. I don’t know what would you call it in English? May be Nationalism, chauvinism or something else.
