Nationalism is a concept alien to Islam because it calls for unity based on family and tribalistic ties, whereas Islam binds people together on the `Aqeedah, that is belief in Allah (swt) and His Messenger (saaw). Islam calls for the ideological bond.
Grouping the Muslims on tribalistic lines is clearly forbidden. It is narrated by Abu Da'wud that the Messenger of Allah (saaw) said,
"He is not one us who calls for `Asabiyyah, (nationalism/tribalism) or who fights for `Asabiyyah or who dies for `Asabiyyah."

Important Update - Letter from Aafia Saddiqui - My Dead Nation
I recently posted an article titled Letter from Aafia Saddiqui - My Dead Nation. However, I was unsure of the authenticity of the letter and since I did not want an inauthentic article to be spread, I have removed it.
