the factors involved in the situation in which they were living, millions, influenced by emotional slogans, tales of heroism, stirring marching songs and poems, have taken up arms and shed, not only their own blood, but also the blood of those they considered to be the enemy, plunging with them the world into confusion and strife.
Sentimentality is a weapon used by Satan to divert humanity from the way of Allah (God), and to lead them into misery. This trap that Satan has set for humanity is clearly evidenced in romantic nationalism. In the Qu’ran, Allah relates how Satan submits those under his influence to a state of terror, confusion and hostility:
He (Allah) said, “Go! And as for any who follow you, your repayment is Hell, repayment in full! Stir up any of them you can with your voice and rally against them your cavalry and your infantry and share with them in their children and their wealth and make them promises! The promise of Satan is nothing but delusion.” (Surat al-Isra’: 63-64)
The above verse relates how Satan, using those individuals under his control, will “entice any of them whom he can with his voice” and “rally against them his cavalry and his infantry”-the means to provoke romantic nationalism.
