| | Islamist - dKosopedia |
 | | What aspects of Islam they are in favour of turning into law or practice, however, vary extremely widely. | | | Islamist is a term often used to refer to Muslims who are fundamentalist in their theology and willing to consider political organizing and/or violent action to bring about a world consistent with that theology. | | | Islamists often differ drastically on their attitude to democracy, political party organizing, and the state itself. |

| | Laith Kubba, "Islam and Liberal Democracy: Recognizing Pluralism |
| | Since these schools are apolitical by tradition, the interpretation of the political aspects of Islam has recently been claimed by combinations of activist clerics and political groups. | | | This political passivity has its roots in religious teachings, and has gone far to perpetuate the tradition of authoritarian government in the Islamic world. | | | Islamic teachings have shaped the history and political culture of hundreds of millions of people over fourteen centuries, and have embraced a vast range of nations, cultures, sects, and schools of thought. |

| | Political philosophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The rise of Islam based on both the Qur'an and the political philosophy of Muhammad drastically altered the power balances and perceptions of origin of power in the Mediterranean region. | | | Two key aspects are the political economy by which property rights are defined and access to capital is regulated, and the rules of truth and evidence that determine judgements in the law. | | | Political and economic relations were drastically changed by these views as the guild was subordinated to free trade, and Roman Catholic dominance of theology was increasingly challenged by Protestant churches subordinate to each nation-state and which preached in the "vulgar" or native language of each region. |

| | Bangladesh: The Next Taliban State? by Taj Hashmi |
| | An appraisal of political Islam in Bangladesh requires an understanding of the socio-economic and cultural aspects of the polity. | | | What is worrisome is the way the writer has demonised both Islam and Bangladesh, totally ignoring the positive aspects of the third largest Muslim country, which is a functional democracy, no longer considered a “basket case”— the way Henry Kissinger portrayed the country in 1972. | | | She has no idea about the similarities and differences between various Islamic groups and their leaders, the “great” and “little” traditions of Islam in the region and the difference between the mass/popular perceptions and the reality. |

| | As the chief source of Islamic doctrine and practice, the Quran is the main foundation of the shari'ah, the sacred law of Islam, which covers all aspects of the public and private, social and economic, religious and political lives of all Muslims. | | | Called the Five Pillars of Islam, they are: the profession of faith (shahadah), devotional worship or prayer (salah), the religious tax (zakah), fasting (sawm), and the pilgrimage to Mecca (hajj). | | | The second pillar, devotional worship or prayer, requires Muslims to pray five times a day - the dawn prayer, the noon prayer, the afternoon prayer, the sunset prayer, and the evening prayer- while facing toward the Ka'bah, the House of God, in Mecca. |

| | History of popular Islam in northwestern Tunisia 1800-1970 |
| | This paper explores the interplay between local popular Islam and the repeated introduction of formal Islam in Khumiriya, against the background of its social and political structure and the radical changes the latter underwent in the colonial and post-colonial era. | | | In the rural communities; however, a popular, less formal and less strict version of Islam dominates; emphasizing saint worship (with great saintly festivals featuring in the agricultural calendar and eclipsing the general Islamic ones), ecstatic cults centring on affliction, and religious brotherhoods. | | | These popular aspects are by no means absent in the cities; but whereas in the cities they exist only in the shadow of, and are incessantly challenged by, the urban formal version which makes a claim of constituting orthodoxy, in the rural areas the popular version makes up the local religion par excellence. |
