Seeking to understand why Islamicists prize the nondemocratic and even nonliberal political rule to be found in revelation-based politics, the article first considers the older Arabic and Islamic analysis of political regimes and their goals. Then it investigates why, in a more recent past, thoughtful thinkers within that same cultural milieu called for independence while endorsing nondemocratic and nonliberal regimes. Finally, it suggests why thinkers today continue to do the same. The goal is not to apologize for Islamicist doctrines in the present or in the recent or distant past but to point to the problems with current Western analyses and critiques of political Islam
