10. In sharp distinction from these views is Graham Fuller who sees Islamism as far more pluriform. and pragmatic. He argues in The Future of Political Islam (New York. Palgrave/Macmillan, 2003), p. 193, that 'political Islam cannot properly be considered as an alternative to other ideologies such as democracy, fascism, socialism, liberalism, and communism. It cannot be put anywhere clearly on an ideological spectrum. It is far more useful to see it as a cultural variant, an alternative vocabulary in which to dress any one of these ideological trends ... Islamism is therefore not an ideology but a religious-cultural-political framework for engagement on issues that most concern politically engaged Muslims'. For Fuller, a thinker like Sayyid Qutb represents one, but not the only, form that Islamism can take.
