Islamic Reform Movements Behind all Islamic reform movements is the rejection of the Western idea of ​​the nation-state and the principle of separation between church and state.

Similarly, the da'wa(h) phenomenon in many Islamic communities is seen as an integral component of Islamic political revival that threatens the existing order more associated with the West. What is or should be clear is that simplistic explanations based on this legacy of anachronistic preconceptions will not suffice. In fact, da'wa(h) has become a subject of great concern to the extent that "foreign" observers see it as a shadow of the unrest in Iran. In the southwestern Philippines, the creation of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) and the continued struggle of the Moro for self-determination have, for all intents and purposes, been seen as part of this global resurgence of Islam.
