Politicization of religion cannot be explained by the ideas of religious doctrines but rather by religious interpretations of politics shaped by state institutions and distribution of power between groups. In addition, the politicization of Islam has not affected so much theology or doctrines. However, it has certainly changed the identifications to the Islamic tradition by mingling it with national belonging.

 

1.The Nationalization of Islamic Institutions and clerics

2.The  redefinition and reduction of Sharia as well as inclusion of Islamic references into secular legal systems (mostly family Law)

3.The integration of Islamic teaching in public education as part of civic education
