“PAN-ISLAMISM” AS A POLITICAL FACTOR IN THE EASTERN AND WESTERN WORLD

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the history of pan-Islamism, which emerged in the Middle East and became the ideology of groups acting under the guise of Islam in the XX-XXI centuries. The views expressed in the research work of scientists engaged in the interpretation of the doctrine of pan-Islamism in the last century and today are analyzed. Also, the article describes the methodological foundations of the idea of Pan-Islamism, its positive and negative aspects, the modern image of what is now called neo-Pan-Islamism, and aspects that contribute to the growth of Islamophobia. In the last century, pan-Islamism emerged as a geopolitical force that was considered an imperial ideology in the Ottoman Empire. If earlier this doctrine had a positive value, later in Russia and England it began to be assessed as an attempt to form the idea of separatism, and today the instability in the states of the Middle East has become the leading idea of panislomism, in the states of the Middle East the idea of panislomism has become an impetus for the formation of religious political parties , also based on philosophical analysis, the reasons for using it as a weapon of fanatical groups operating under the guise of Islam are revealed.
