Islamic Armed Organisations and Islamism in the Case of the Middle East

Summary/Abstract: Political Islam (Islamism) refers to a political strategy, which since the second half of 20th century represents the dominate articulation of Muslim political aspirations. Islamism is the common name for the political ideologies that consider that Islam is not just a religion but a political system. Even essentially prominent, political Islam is only one of political orientations in the entire Islamic world and with this is not a uniformed movement. There are many differences within it: from social-charitable activities across the political doing to the use of violent and armed action (jihad). Diversity within Islamism is visible and in the armed organizations. Many of them have different goals. However, when they have identical or similar goals between them occur disruptions and internecine conflicts (and armed), primarily due to the different notions what strategy and resources, political or military, use to achieve the utter goals. Also, within the Islamic world, there are armed organizations that do not belong under the frame of political Islam (secular) concept.
