520 |a Muslim fundamentalism and Islamism are increasingly used as terms in the media and this article examines their meanings and genesis. It does so by looking at the teachings of its three primary ideologues, Hasan al-Banna, Abdul Al-Maududi and Sayid Qutb and comparing them to totalitarianism. It finds that there are substantial similarities, but also significant differences. The former involve the power of both Islamism and totalitarianism to mobilise the masses, ignoring class and religion, in order to combat exterior threat. In so doing, both replace the practice of religion with their own monopolistic ideology, relying on mass communication and suppression of dissent to construct a single party regime with the aim of conquering existing society which it believes has deviated from its ideal, creating a new man and reconstructing the state.
