	Islamism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Islamism has often been described as a reaction to colonialism or, alternatively, an effect of post-colonialism.
		Islamism went through its major political and philosophical developments in the early part of the twentieth century, but it was not until the 1980s that it became active in an international arena and rose to great prominence in the 1990s.
		Modern Islamism began in the colonial period, and it was overtly anti-imperialist.

		Islamism is a political, mostly socio-revolutionary movement - heterogeneous in itself - embraced by a minority of the Muslims.
		Referring to the original Islam of the 7th century, its adherents, the Islamists, are calling for the "restoration” of an "Islamic order” as the only state and social order that is legitimate in their opinion and that is to replace all other systems.

	Is Islamism a Threat?: A Debate - Middle East Quarterly - December 1999
		Whereas Islam was traditionally conceived as being in a class with Judaism and Christianity, Islamism is a response to ideologies that emerged in the modern West—communism, socialism, or capitalism.
		The heart of Islamism is the drive to extend the Shari‘a into all sorts of new areas of life, such as economics.
		If it is true that Islamism's moment has passed and that, as [the French scholar] Olivier Roy argues, the era of post-Islamism has begun, then we should not be surprised that the Islamist movements are foregoing the pursuit of political power.

	The Mistaken Islamism Abid Ullah Jan - Global Analysis on the World Crisis Web
		Islamism is neither a medieval program of Muslims, nor does it respond to the stress and strains of the twentieth century.
		Islamism is the promotion of divisions among Muslims, and of “war within Islam”, with the help of neo-mods of Islam, who could appropriately be labeled Islamists, bent upon, in Margaret’s terms, plucking the different tulips out, or changing all of them to red.
		Islamism is the label given to their struggle by those working to undermine Islam, and to discredit, isolate and demonize the movement for living by Islam.

	New world war
		In the past, Islamism was constantly condemned by the the caliphs who were the commanders of the believers and the guardians of the holy places.
		Indeed, Islamism is not only seeking to influence one religion or control one region: It aspires to unlimited and universal power and challenges the liberal world order in a global battle over the future course of the human odyssey.
		Islamism cannot merit to be ranked as a civilizations since it is just a barbarous ideology.

	Islamism
		Islamism is often referred to as Salafism, but this encyclopaedia uses the general term 'Islamism' throughout.
		Islamism is a phenomenon primarily taking place in cities, and the most prominent members are young people with higher education, often with a modest background and often with parents living in the countryside.
		Dictatorship can be transitory, but the ideal structure in an Islamist society is the system of shura, where the leaders are in frequent contact with the entire society, and ask about their needs, and for their ideas, and are obliged to show respect for what they are told.

		In fact, a manifest strain of anti-clericalism pervaded the Islamism of the early 1970s; its followers rejected the apolitical stance of the Muslim clergy and condemned the clerical estate for its political quietism.
		"Islamism is the sum total of intellectual, social, economic, cultural and political activities which spring from the comprehensive Islamic viewpoint, in order to support them in theory and apply them in practice in all spheres of life with the objective of establishing a new political and cultural entity."
		The primary cause of Islamism's failure was its ideological incoherence.

	Coming to Terms: Fundamentalists or Islamists? by Martin Kramer
		Instead, the term Islamism is used increasingly to denote the political manifestation of the religion of Islam.
		Cantori still noted that Islamism had not carried the day in the media: "Unfortunately, journalists especially still use the term fundamentalism and, in the process, fail to recognize and appreciate the moderation of the Islamic revival's mainstream."[29] But Cantori left no doubt that the term Islamism was gaining ground in academe and in Washington.
		And the inevitable confusion between Islam and islamisme "reduces the analysis of contemporary Muslim societies to the discourse and practices of their most radical and marginal components."[42] Not so, responds Oliver Roy, one of the chief interpreters of the new movements (and father of the term postislamisme).

	PWHCE Middle East Project: Definition: Islamism, Islamist, Islamiste, Islamicist
		Islamism is an umbrella term commonly applied to a variety of Islamic movements that are actually quite diverse.
		The most useful definition of Islamism is encapsulated in the synonym 'Political Islam', which refers to those political movements that treat Islam as their political ideology.
		This definition differentiates Islamism from secular political groupings such as socialism and from mainstream/traditional Islam, which does not treat the Islamic scriptures as a blueprint for political theory.

		In fact, the current wave of Islamist political movements winning elections in the region is the third wave of Islamism in our generation since the 1970s, and probably the most important one.
		The second wave of Islamism in the 1990s took a violent form, in Algeria, Syria, Egypt and other places, including bin Ladenist-style terror.
		The wide extent of triumphant political Islamism provides important clues about its real meaning and impetus for those who wish to see the real world, rather than imagine a more exotic and menacing world out there.

	A Sufi response to political islamism: Al-ahbash of Lebanon
		One such unnoticed source of reaction to political Islamism is the nebulous confraternity of Sufi orders (turuq) whose mysticism and esoteric beliefs and practices have set them apart from the exoteric revivalism and political activism of the Islamist societies, such as the Muslim Brotherhood and its many affiliates.
		The resurgence of Islamism after the 1967 war and its subsequent use by President Anwar al-Sadat of Egypt as an antidote to Nasserism brought the Muslim Brotherhood into prominence as a prelude to its emergence as a part of mainstream Islam.
		As an alternative to conservative Islamism, the Ahbash and similar groups could well emerge as the voice of the bourgeoisie and intelligentsia, which favor the establishment of liberal regimes in the Arab world.

		There has been plenty of coverage of the Andijon trials from various media outlets, and as more are dragged to court for their admissions of guilt, we can expect plenty more of the same.
		The guilty pleas by the men, mostly in their 20s and 30s, came as prosecutors opened the trial and alleged they were linked to a Muslim extremist conspiracy to overthrow the government and create an Islamic state.
		According to the Azaldliq newspaper, Nariman Gasimoglu was targeted for death under a declaration of jihad a few months ago, by opponents of his modern and scientific approach to Islam (he translated the Koran into Azeri).

	International Crisis Group - 037 Understanding Islamism
		Reacting to the spectacular and violent events of 11 September 2001, many Western observers and policy-makers have tended to lump all forms of Islamism together, brand them as radical and treat them as hostile.
		Islamism -- or Islamic activism (we treat these terms as synonymous) -- has a number of very different streams, only a few of them violent and only a small minority justifying a confrontational response.
		Sunni Islamism -- on which most Western emphasis is today placed, and about which most fears are held -- is widely viewed as uniformly fundamentalist, radical, and threatening to Western interests.

	International Crisis Group - Islamism, Violence and Reform
		Islamism – or Islamic activism (we treat these terms as synonymous) – has a number of very different streams, only a few of them violent and only a small minority justifying a confrontational response.
		Shiism is the minority variant of Islam (Sunnis constitute over 80 per cent of Muslims) and the most widespread and natural form of Shiite activism has been communal -- defending the interests of the Shiite community in relation to other populations and to the state itself.
		For this reason, and because of the leading political role played by scholars and religious authorities, Shiite Islamism has remained unified to a remarkable degree and has not fragmented into conflicting forms of activism as has Sunni Islamism.

	International Islamism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		* International Islamism encourages extra-territorial loyalty by holding that the requirements of loyalty to trans-national Ummah and to Islamic solidarity override those of loyalty to the nation-State in which a Muslim is resident and of which he or she is a citizen.
		* The jehadists of international Islamism spare no opportunity to organise a crusade against every social evil (in their perception)--drinking, debauchery, adultery, the TV etc, but they have never organised a crusade against opium cultivation and heroin production and smuggling.
		The solidarity of the extremists and terrorists of International Islamism has not been matched by a solidarity of the victim-States in confronting them effectively.

	Militant about "Islamism"
		However, "though neutral on Islam," he continues, "I take a strong stand on Islamism, which I see as very different....Whereas the closest parallels to Islam are Judaism and Christianity, those closest to Islamism are other radical utopian 'isms,' namely fascism and Marxism-Leninism.
		Islamism is a scourge, a global affliction whose victims include peoples of all religions, [but] Muslims are the main casualties....Moderate Muslims who wish to live modern lives, unencumbered by burqas, fatwas, and violent visions of jihad, are on the defensive and atomized.
		They must be helped: celebrated by governments, publicized in the media, given grants by foundations." Many of Pipes's articles deal with the plight of moderate voices in Islam, and he says MEF is in the process of helping form an anti-Islamist Muslim organization.
