"Islamicist ideology begins with the failure of the Muslim world to prevail..." I have a different view of that failure. It failed because the scholars in an errant attempt to keep the Islamic community from further territorial fragmentation after the fall of the Ottoman Empire began endorsing political literatures justifying monarchial regimes from Islamic perspective and to islamize such regime formats. This was a huge error, and one that has driven Islamic scholarship since that time, in my opinion. This is the only part that I find favor with...with some edits. "The answer is due to the increasing injustice, corruption, and impiety of the ruling elites among the Muslims. For this reason, the infidel was allowed to humiliate and punish the Muslims, until such time as they arose, revived their faith, and returned to their former glory, eventually to add on hegemony over all those who do not submit to Allah." If Muslims were living according to their faith, instead of corrupted political agendas, they would be the models of conservative morality and charitable living.
