Islamism


Islamism (Islam+-ism; Arabic: الإسلامية al-ʾislāmiyyah) also Arabic: إسلام سياسي‎ ʾIslām siyāsī , lit., "Political Islam" is set of ideologies holding that Islam is not only a religion but also a political system. Islamism is a controversial term, and definitions of it sometimes vary. Leading Islamist thinkers emphasized the enforcement of Sharia (Islamic law); of pan-Islamic political unity; and of the elimination of non-Muslim, particularly Western military, economic, political, social, or cultural influences in the Muslim world, which they believe to be incompatible...

Egyptians' massive rally against Army: Protests to end military council rule ahead of Islamist rule Thousands of people gathered in Egypt's Tahrir Square to protest against the Egyptian military. After decades of repression, the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood now leads events like this, and tens of thousands of supporters gathered for the "Day of Wrath" shortly before Friday prayers. The protestors chanted and waved banners in the air -- many sarcastically thanking the army for their poor leadership. People shouted, "Down, down with army rule." One protestor, Islam Abu el Ila, said, "The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces is a group of criminals; they killed us, they shoot us, and they shake hands with Israel." Although allies under deposed president Hosni Mubarak, the future of Egypt's relationship with Israel is now uncertain. Everyone is waiting to see what will happen when the newly elected -- and Islamist dominated -- parliament begins to draft the new constitution.

Nigeria: Radical Islamist Group 'Boko Haram' Threatens Nigeria's Future The African country of Nigeria is continuing to witness a wave of attacks by the Islamic group Boko Haram. Ten unexploded car bombs were discovered Monday in the aftermath of a weekend attack in the northern city of Kano. The string of attacks have some wondering whether Africa's most populous country is breaking apart. From protests over fuel subsidies to recent religious violence, Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan said the violence is worse than the country's 1960's civil war. He described it as "unprecedented evil." At least 178 people died in the latest Kano attack, many of them police officers. Officials say the death toll could rise as high as 250. "On my way out, I saw a dead body, a young man who was lying dead," one eyewitness said. Eleven more people died when two churches were bombed in Bauchi State late Sunday. Boko Haram claimed responsibility for the coordinated attacks. The group is fighting for Islamic sharia law, including punishments like stoning, amputations and beheadings. In recent months, the militants targeted Christians and destroyed several churches in the northern part of the country. Goodluck, who's a Christian from the south, has vowed to crush the group, ordering thousands of roadblocks across the country and stepped up security. "We are now taking all possible measures to see that this occurrence does not happen again," said Aminu Ringim, a senior police officer. So far, little has been done to stop the violence. There are not reports that <b>...</b>
