Political Islam, Arab Imperialism & Myths of Equality – A Historical Investigation
Political Islam—often called Islamism—is more than a set of theological doctrines. It is a political program aimed at the global enforcement of Islamic law (sharia), rooted in the earliest Islamic conquests. Whether by overt military campaigns or subtle cultural infiltration, the objective remains constant: to expand and preserve Islamic supremacy.
Political Islam’s Bangladeshi and Western Network
Bangladesh’s birth in 1971 was a rejection of pan-Islamic nationalism, after the Pakistani military—backed by Islamist parties—waged a genocidal war against Bengali nationalists. Groups like Jamaat-e-Islami, allied with Pakistan’s death squads, played an infamous role in atrocities against civilians. Today, Jamaat and its ideological allies still operate in Bangladesh and abroad, opposing war crimes trials against their leaders. In the United States, their influence is amplified through networks like ICNA, CAIR, and the North American Bangladeshi Islamic Community, all with historic ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
