I also removed
Talibanization, since that is term (see the article) used to refer more to non-Muslim Taliban-like movements than the Muslim movements. For the actual Taliban, there is the article
Taliban.

Notable people
Notable people associated with Islamism should be added. Most are likely dead, so there should be no BLP issues.

Image
Its best if there is no image. Islamist movement are highly varied (compare Islamists of Egypt with those of Iran), hence no one symbol can be used to represent them.

Islsmism?
Why is
secularism on the Islamism template? If the template is going to have links to democracy, modernism, secularism it should be
Political aspects of Islam, not Political Islam. Its like having environmentalism on a conservative template. --

Image that represents the manifestations of Islamism
While its true Islamist movements are highly varied, but they all have a few things in common:
Opposition to Secular Democracy (and the liberalism that comes with the individual freedoms)
Opposition to the Western World in general
Protest Mode: Since Islamists are not fully in power and control of society, except Iran, they are usually in street protest mode in West as well as muslim-majority countries.
Agitation: Whether through street protests, or through legal battles or publications..Islamists are always involved in agitation and resistance.
For these reason, I believe images like these (
File:"Freedom go to hell".jpg) represents Islamism. I chose because the person's identity is hidden (so no personal harm) and it carries a placard which summarizes the crux of Islamism.
Participating in a street protest can be a very democratic instead of anti-democratic thing to do. However, I have two concerns: first, the fact that there is text on the image makes it appear as if it was a canonical statement or tenet that Islamists subscribe to, which it hardly is. Compare this with e.g.
Template:Islam which features the Allah Jalla Jalaalahoo - it's not just any instance of text, but a highly established one. Secondly, this photo has been taken in the UK, whereas Islamism is more prevalent in predominantly muslim-majority countries, and has very different connotations in the West.

Charles Essie yes, not all Islamists are opposed to democracy. But all are opposed to "Secular Democracy". That's what makes them Islamists in the first place.
Finnusertop on your two objections: 1) Opposition to secularism, and freedoms that come with it, is the uniting factor of Islamists. They put "Law of God" before "Law of Man". So yes, this is not a canonical text, but it does represent crux of Islamism. 2) Yes connotations are different in Muslim-majority countries, but the opposition to secular freedoms is the same.
I would say, until a better image comes along (chances of which are slim), let this image be used. --

the image is purely decorative, and this is a navigation template. a decorative image does not assist with navigation, so we don't include an image.

1) First Tahrir Suare uprising was against
Hosni Mobarak, which was overwhelmingly secular. The second one was against
Morsi, and was counter-Islamist. The image of Tahrir Square as representation of Islamism is grossly incorrect and misleading. It is best we leave the image. 2) And the Arabic text of "
Bismillah" is totally unnecessary and paints Islamism as a religious movement, which it is not. Islamism is first and foremost a political movement with religious grounding. Both of the images have been removed. --

The Nation's template
It contains the poltiics and Islam portals just like the Islamism template
and Warith Deen Mohammed (who was the leader of the nation) of was a Muslim revivalist if you go to the article and click on the word "Muslim revivalist" there you have it
You will see the Islamism template — Preceding

That's exactly my point. You don't know what the editors of the World Book Encyclopedia meant by "Muslimism", so how can you say that they meant "Islamist"? —
Malik ShabazzTalk/Stalk 20:42, 2 October 2016 (UTC)reply
Related words?!? The words Islam, Islamic, and Islamist are all related. So what? Without a
reliable source that describes the Nation of Islam as Islamist, it doesn't belong in the template. Not Islamic or Islam or Muslim or Muslimist or Muslimism. Islamist. —
Malik ShabazzTalk/Stalk 20:54, 2 October 2016 (UTC)reply
Islamism and fundamentalism are not synonyms. Both are vague terms used by different sources in different ways. I second
MShabazz's recommendation to consult
WP:NOR, and in particular
WP:SYNTH. To put a name on this template, we need to ensure that the designation of Islamist reflects RSs with due weight per
WP:WEIGHT. For example, if we randomly take 10 RSs about that person and only one of them refer to them by that term, it would not be the case.

Islamist movements
@
Juantheman96: please produce RSs identifying the entitites you're attempting to keep on the list as "Islamist movements". The ones for which this designation does not reflect RSs with due weight will be deleted from the template. Thanks.

Pretty sure my edit will be reverted into the original hideousness, so I'll just dump
this here for future references. My proposal of streamlining the template by cutting down every duplicating information and providing links to the dedicated templates:

Sex segregation
Every major Islamist leader including Qutb, House of Saud monarchs, Khomeini, Khamenei, and even moderate Islamists are hell-bent on gender segregation in public places such as mosques.--
