priority of the Islamist movements Usage of the term Sharia’ not necessary
America’s supremacy cannot be neglected Economical advancement – help of IMF and such

Gap between 1924 and 2012 is huge Circumstances have changed Restoration of Caliphate – in the beginning Activities of the Islamic movements –
concentrated on the restoration of the consciousness of the restoration of Caliphate
Muslim Brotherhood corrected Banna’s uniform tradition of activity
Their approach was more pluralistic The names of political parties included words like
freedom, justice, development etc. which showed their accommodative nature
Seems as though the Islamists were not ready Their slogans on the streets were not suitable now
while in power. They were thrown into a situation in which they
had to solve the acute problems of the nations – poverty, development, education etc.
Rashid al Ghanooshi – he had predicted the changes and done the homework
His policies helped the Islamists in Tunisia to adapt themselves to the changing scenario
Policy of coalition Islamists realized that they alone cannot handle
the situations and issues of the nation
Islamic movements have been able to go beyond their mentor’s and founder’s words and ideas
Situations also compel them to alter their former policies
They have realized that they cannot ignore the developments and factors of globalization taking place around the globe,
