Political Islam

Political Islam is the interpretation of Islam as a source of political identity and action.[1] It advocates the formation of state and society according to (the advocates understanding of) Islamic principles, where Islam serves as a source of political positions and concepts.[2][3] Political Islam is generally used interchangeably with the term Islamism by authors inside and outside of academia,[1] and thought of as the political element of the Islamic revival that began in the 20th century,[1] rather than just any form of political activity by Muslims. However, there have also been new attempts to distinguish between Islamism as religiously based political movements and political Islam as a national modern understanding of Islam shared by secular and Islamist actors.[4]
