Islamist

n. specialist in Islamic studies; follower of Islam

This article is about political Islamism Islamism (Arabic: al-'islāmiyya) is a term usually used to denote a set of political ideologies holding that Islam is not only a religion but also a political system and its teachings should be preeminent in all facets of society. It holds that Muslims must return to the original teachings and the early models of Islam, particularly by making Islamic law (sharia) the basis for all statutory law of society and by uniting politically, eventually in one state; and that western military, economic, political, social, or cultural influence in the Muslim world is un-Islamic and should be replaced by purely Islamic influences. A broader definition gives Islamism's role as "support for identity, authenticity, broader regionalism, revivalism, revitalization of the community;" while a narrower definition defines it as "an Islamic militant, anti-democratic movement, bearing a holistic vision of Islam whose final aim is the restoration of the caliphate." Attributes of sharia law supported by many, but not all, Islamists include "enforcement of Islamic punishments, including prohibitions on taking interest, playing music, showing television, ... and enforcing traditional dress and attendance at prayers."
