| Résumé: | The subject of Islam and politics raises problems of definition and categorisation of its religio‐ideological content and of the different groups and parties which uphold that Islam and politics are inextricably linked. There is a general consensus in the more recent literature on Islam that Islam is not monolithic. There are frequent references to the ‘variety of Islams’, ‘the Islam of the state’, ‘the Islam of radical Islamist groups’ and ‘sufi and popular Islam’. But is it so ordered? Have we gone from one extreme, that of defining Islam as monolithic, and replaced it with a set of rigid and compartmentalized notions of the different spheres and interpretations of Islam? It appears that the perceptions and practice of Islam are much more fluid and tend to overlap and that there is a common and integrated world‐view amongst Muslims that can be delineated. |
