Unity like that

"If only all the Muslims could be united."

"No, what's unity going to do, when we don't even have our Islam."

My students are amazing! And I think this is one of the wisest comments I've ever heard about Muslim unity. How can we really ever expect to have unity when we don't have our Islam? And is "unity" like that going to get us anywhere?
