Not very positively. Before Islamists became the force of unrest in the middle east it was Arab Nationalists. In fact the UAR (United Arab Republic) an alliance of Egypt, Syria, and Iraq tried to create a Pan Arab State (Got their arses whooped by Israel). Still, they were secular autocratic Socialists (Baathists, Nasserites...) and their dream of a pan Arab state has morphed into the Al Quaeda dream of a Sunni Islamic Caliphate.

Arabs don`t have any nationalism. They have only Islamism . Islamism or any other religionism does not unite any nation. Only secularism is compatible to nationalism. Minority Jews have a seperate nation and nationalism in middle east and numerically and oil strong Arabs lose to Jews. Judaism has no groups and so Israel may live temporarily with U S help.

The Middle East is mostly Arabic, so your question doesn't make sense.
It's like talking about European nationalism. Why shouldn't they want to protect their own part of the world?
