Can Islam become democratic by Assef Bayat ... Post-Islamism is a new term in political science, its definition and the possibility of its application have led to intellectual debate, Assef Bayat and Oliver Roy are among the main architects of the idea. The term was used by Bayat to refer to a "trend" towards re-secularizing Islam after the "exhaustion" of political Islam. By Olivier Roy to refer to the pre-Islamic period where political, military, and religious spheres were separated. Before Olivier Roy, it was recognized that after repeated efforts, Islamists failed to establish a "concrete and implementable plan for society," and Mustafa Akyol to refer to a violent reaction against Islamism in countries like Turkey, Iran, and Sudan. The term was coined by Iranian political sociologist Assef Bayat, then professor of sociology at the American University in Cairo, in an article published in 1996 in Middle East Critique. Bayat explained it as "a state in which the appeal, energy, symbols, and sources of legitimacy of Islamism have been exhausted, after a phase of experimentation, even among its previously enthusiastic supporters. Accordingly, post-Islamism is not anti-Islam but reflects a tendency to re-Islamize." It originally related only to Iran, where "post-Islamism is expressed in the idea of integration between Islam (as a personal belief) and individual freedom and choice; and post-Islamism is associated with democratic values and aspects of modernity." In this context, the subsequent prefix does not carry a historical connotation but indicates a critical distancing from Islamic discourse. Bayat later pointed out in 2007 that post-Islamism is a "condition" and a "project."
