The authors analyze the transformations in subject matter and in ethno-specific and connotative meaning the “fundamentalism” concept underwent since its rise till the present day. They did survey the ancient and modern philosophical approaches followed by contemporary Islamic political scientists and leaders. The authors consider the reasons why Islamic fundamentalists criticize democratic polity and cite the basics of their conventional wisdom.
They have made an estimate of world tendency to Islam politicization greatly empowered in the last decades.
Keywords: fundamentalism; Arab World; Pan-Arabism; Pan-Islamism; caliphate; modern Arab discourse; faith transformation into radical ideology.
