ISLAM KAO POLITIČKI SISTEM
ISLAM AS A POLITICAL SYSTEM

Summary/Abstract: In this article the author analyses the political dimension of Islamic religion. One of the main characteristics of Islam is the fact that it is not only religious, but also political and legal system. It is emphasized that Islam, unlike some other religions, has an important political role in the countries with Muslim majorities and within Muslim communities around the globe. Islam has had always been the key factor of social mobilization in Muslim history, in the periods of crisis as well as in the periods of stability, and no other ideology has ever managed to reach the power of religion. This situation also characterises modern Muslim states in which there is almost no important political movement that, to the certain extent, does not base its principles on religion. Islam, therefore, still represents the primary source of legitimacy in the political and legal systems of these countries.
