Summary/Abstract: The issue of Islamic government, or generally government, within the framework of religious texts and lecturing was actualised, with certain tendencies, during the aggression on B&H in nineties and in the years that immediately followed, primarily through the texts of foreign authors, but also through the lectures of foreign religious lecturers who saw B&H as a fertile land where they can offer their “original” interpretation of Islam along with their theories regarding the issue of the Islamic government. Within such un-institutionalised interpretations of Islam there are examples that offer evidence that such missionary activities of certain individuals and groups have aims at revitalising the Islamic government in the world, as well as in B&H and to jeopardise legitimate laws brought within democratic systems. An important issue of such missions is active and passive participation in elections.
