From the Wikipedia article:
"Jihad[edit]
Barber sees "Jihad" as offering solidarity and protecting identities, but at the potential cost of tolerance and stability. Barber describes the solidarity needed within the concept of Jihad as being secured through exclusion and war against outsiders. As a result, he argues, different forms of anti-democratization can arise through anti-democratic one-party dictatorships, military juntas, or theocratic fundamentalism."

so this would undermine nationalism because he essentially suggests that anti-democratic dictatorships will arise due to exclusion and not wanting to conform to uniformities of industrial modernization?
