This paper highlights a relationship between the ideas Islamic ideologues have imported from the West and the political systems they have designed over the years. The arguments of three Islamic leaders ‐ Abduh, Qutb and Belhadj ‐ are most indicative of these critical exchanges and most effective in transforming Islamic political discourse and organisation. It is shown how the changes that these actors introduced relate to the Western concepts and practices with which they had become acquainted, and how the development of Islamic politics parallels earlier developments in Western polities. It is concluded that an understanding of this parallel evolution permits to better understand which conceptual and political dilemmas Islamic fundamentalists must face today, and which practical options remain open to them in the contemporary context
