| | Islam: Politics In Religious Garb |
| | Islam is not a religion in the strict meaning of the word dealing with afterlife, spirituality and morality, but rather a political movement using the religious façade to dominate the world. | | | The separation of politics from religion means that religionists should not force their religious views on politics and the politicians should stay away from religions in their political affairs. | | | It is time that the world wake up and see Islam for what it is – a political movement in religious guise, set to conquer the world by hooks and crooks. |

| | AllRefer.com - Shiites (Islam) - Encyclopedia |
| | Shiite Islam originated as a political movement supporting Ali (cousin and son-in-law of Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam) as the rightful leader of the Islamic state. | | | Islam, it suggests, should be lived as a tool for the empowerment of the oppressed, not merely as a set of devotional practices; hence the Iranian support for the Palestinian, Afghan, and Lebanese causes. | | | The legitimacy of this claim, as initially envisioned by Ali's supporters, was based on Muhammad's alleged designation of Ali as his successor, Ali's righteousness, and tribal customs, given his close relation to the Prophet. |

| | The central beliefs of Islam are monotheism and Muhammad's status as the "seal of the Prophets," that is, the final prophet to whom God revealed messages for the spiritual guidance of humanity. | | | The four other pillars of Islam are prayer (namaz ; salat in Arabic), giving alms to the needy (zekat ; zakah in Arabic), fasting (oruç ; sawm in Arabic) during the month of Ramazan (from the Arabic, Ramadan), and the pilgrimage (hac, from the Arabic hajj) to Mecca. | | | The profession of belief in one God and the prophethood of Muhammad is known as the sahadet (in Arabic, shahada), and is one of the five basic obligations or "pillars" of Islam. |

| | The Silent Holocaust: Why Humanity Must Achieve Victory over Islam |
| | Islam under any kind of interpretation is and always has been a strong force against secularism, modernism, egalitarianism and women's rights. | | | The crimes committed by the Islamic Republic of Iran and political Islam in the region are comparable to the crimes committed by Fascism in the 1930s and early 1940s, and to the genocide in Rwanda and Indonesia. | | | I, along with thousands of political prisoners, was tortured by order of the representative of Allah and Sharia; tortured, while the verses of the Koran about nonbelievers were played in the torture chambers. |

| | Political Islam |
| | Political Islam believes, or pretends to believe, that these rules are those of the “real Islam,” the Islam of the age of the Prophet. | | | Political Islam is not interested in the religion which it invokes, and does not propose any theological or social critique. | | | Contemporary Islam is only an ideology based on the past, an ideology which proposes a pure and simple return to the past, and more precisely, to the period immediately preceding the submission of the Muslim world to the expansion of capitalism and Western imperialism. |

| | Talk:Islam as a political movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Particularly, "Islam is inherently political" and "There is no separation of church and state responsibilities in any branch of Islam" seem POV. | | | If this is so, the Islamic doctrines are merely cover for a political movement. | | | The association of one term to lump terrorism in with these autonomy, secession, self-sufficiency or independence movements would seem to be designed to discredit them. |

| | Orthodox Islam is, in fact, a minority religion, and the term often used to describe the orthodox believer is santri (see Glossary). | | | Modernist, or reformist, Islam in Indonesia was best exemplified by the Muhammadiyah (followers of Muhammad), founded in 1912 when the spirit of the Muslim reform movement begun in Egypt in the early 1900s reached Southeast Asia. | | | Although organized Islamic political parties in the New Order were prohibited from advancing an explicitly Islamic message, traditional systems of communication within the community of believers, including instruction in Islamic schools and mosque sermons, passed judgments on politics and politicians. |

| | Islam and political religion are constantly repackaged in a thousand ways to make this cultural relativism and appeasement more palatable for the western audience. | | | It is we who are deemed extremists by the Mayor of London when we oppose the visit of Sheik Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the so-called Islamic scholar whose support for women's 'modesty' and violence against women and his condemnation of sexual acts as 'perversions' are no different from the Islamic laws in Iran. | | | There is now moderate Islam, Islamic reformism, Islamic human rights, Islamic feminism and Islamic democracy (oxymorons in my opinion). |

| | The Antiwar Movement Legitimises Political Islam |
| | Azar Majedi: First, let’s make it clear that political Islam refers to a political movement, and not a religious one as such, whereas fundamentalism, at least in the original sense of the word, refers to the basis of a religion, its foundations and dogmas. | | | It is ready to bend dogmas whenever or wherever its political interests dictate; the Islamic Republic in Iran is a great example of this. | | | Not everyone is involved in this movement for the same reasons. |

| | Cover story: Islam -- Islamic Fundamentalism Feared, Misunderstood |
| | Context, say scholars, is everything, and the political and economic climate that pertains in many Muslim countries, particularly in the Middle East, fuels Islamist movements that go beyond respect and reverence for the Islamic religion to adopt Islam as a political strategy or that refer to Islamic principles in calling for social and political reforms. | | | Political repression and poverty fuel a religious movement | | | In our own day, it’s taken on a violent profile because Islam is being suppressed, quarantined, persecuted -- most directly by the rulers of the nations where most Muslims live,” said Appleby. |

| | Islamic Center class to dispel misconceptions about faith - Tuesday, 12/28/04 |
| | Sheikh Abdulhakim Ali Mohamed, Imam of the local center and one of the instructors of the course, agreed that some people see Islam as a political movement rather than a religious faith and view violence in the Middle East as a reflection of that faith. | | | In the class, Mohamed said he will cover the Islamic belief that God is one, the requirement to pray five times daily, and the Five Pillars of Islam — the acknowledgement of God, prayer, the paying of alms, fasting, and a pilgrimage to Mecca. | | | The first step toward eliminating the misunderstandings surrounding Islam is to ''open the doors of dialogue with non-Muslims,'' said Amir Arain, an Islamic Center board member and Vanderbilt University neurology professor. |

| | Review of Islam: The Arab Imperialism |
| | Born a Muslim in India in 1928 and so fervent in his early faith that he killed three non-Muslim men in the riots of 1947, Shaikh has renounced Islam and become a leading spokesman against it. | | | Like many anti-Islamic polemicists, Shaikh dwells on the career of the Prophet Muhammad, searching it out for inconsistencies (his attitude toward freedom of religion before and after reaching power) and unsavoriness (the Islamic portrayal of paradise shows that, in Islam, "sexual gratification is the ultimate goal of life"). | | | Building on an earlier study with a similar title, Shaikh portrays Islam as a political movement which has conquered peoples around the world. |
