WHAT DOES ISLAMISM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Islamism

Islamism or political Islam is a set of ideologies holding that "Islam should guide social and political as well as personal life". "Islamism" is a controversial neologism whose definition sometimes varies. Islamists can have varying interpretations on various Quranic suras and ayahs. Islamist views emphasize the implementation of Sharia; of pan-Islamic political unity; and of the selective removal of non-Muslim, particularly Western military, economic, political, social, or cultural influences in the Muslim world that they believe to be incompatible with Islam. Some observers suggest Islamism's tenets are less strict, and can be defined as a form of identity politics or "support for identity, authenticity, broader regionalism, revivalism, revitalization of the community". Following the Arab Spring, political Islam has been described as "increasingly interdependent" with political democracy. Islamists generally oppose the use of the term, claiming that their political beliefs and goals are simply an expression of Islamic religious belief.

7 QUOTES WITH «ISLAMISM»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word Islamism.
1
Ayaan Hirsi Ali
I see no difference between Islam and Islamism. Islam is defined as submission to the will of Allah, as it is described in the Koran. Islamism is just Islam in its most pure form.
2
Pete Hegseth
Political correctness is a poison to our security and defenses. It imposes a willful blindness, both at the macro level when unwilling to engage with radical Islamism or whatever you want to call it - if you're not willing to call it what it is - and at the micro level, at the street level.
3
Ted Lange
I believe in Christianity, Judaism and Islamism, but I stay away from churches, synagogues and mosques.
4
Maajid Nawaz
Islamism is not Islam. Islamism is the politicisation of Islam, the desire to impose a version of this ancient faith over society.
5
Maajid Nawaz
The only way we can challenge Islamism is to engage with one another. We need to make it as abhorrent as racism has become today. Only then will we stem the tide of angry young Muslims who turn to hate.
6
Maajid Nawaz
Preying on the grievances of disaffected young men is the bedrock of Islamism.
7
Daniel Pipes
I draw a distinction between traditional Islam and Islamism. Islamism emerged in its modern form in the 1920s and is driven by a belief that Muslims can be strong and rich again if they follow the Islamic law severely and in its entirety. This is a response to the trauma of modern Islam.
