Islamism is a range of religious and political ideological movements that believe that Islam should influence political systems.[1] Its proponents believe Islam is innately political, and that Islam as a political system is superior to communism, liberal democracy, capitalism, and other alternatives in achieving a just, successful society.[2] The advocates of Islamism are usually affiliated with Islamic institutions or social mobilization movements,[3] emphasizing the implementation of sharia,[4] pan-Islamic political unity,[4] and the creation of Islamic states.[5][6]
