Islamization

Islamization (also spelt Islamisation, see spelling differences; Arabic: أسلمة‎ aslamah) or Islamification (pejorative Muhammadization) has been used to describe the process of a society's conversion to the religion of Islam. In contemporary usage, it may refer to the perceived imposition of an Islamist social and political discourse on a society with a tradition of a more varied interpretation of Islam.
