Islamism a religio-political ideology that seeks to revive Islam to its past assertiveness and glory,[1] purify it of foreign elements, reassert its role into "social and political as well as personal life"[2] where "government and society are ordered in accordance with laws prescribed by Islam" (aka Sharia).[3][4] [5][6]
It is thought to have started to form towards the end of the 19th Century with Sayyid Rashid Rida,[7] developed as an idea "more or less in 1940" (according to Olivier Roy),[8] under Hassan al-Banna (founder of the Muslim Brotherhood), Sayyid Qutb, Abul A'la Maududi, and Ruhollah Khomeini;[9] surprising the world with the overthrow of the Shah of Iran in 1979, and going on to "arguably" alter "the Middle East more than any trend since the modern states gained independence", redefining "politics and even borders" (according to author Robin Wright).[10]
As of 2020, at least some observers have detected a decline in the vigor and popularity of the ideology,[11] as well a backlash against Islamist rule in some countries (Turkey, Iran, and Sudan).[12]
