Islamism is a range of religious and political ideological movements that believe that Islam should influence political systems. Its proponents believe Islam is innately political, and that Islam as a political system is superior to communism, liberal democracy, capitalism, and other alternatives in achieving a just, successful society. Islamism is considered anti-colonialist, anti-Zionist, anti-capitalist, and anti-communist; Islamists support family values, sharia, the abolition of interest-based finance, and the Quranic command of 'Enjoining good and forbidding wrong.' The advocates of Islamism, also known as "al-Islamiyyun", are usually affiliated with Islamic institutions or social mobilization movements, emphasizing the implementation of sharia, pan-Islamic political unity, and the creation of Islamic states.
