The main problem of this article is Islamism as a social –political discourse. The hypothesis is that Islamism isa typical resistance against the hegemony of European modernity discourse. Islamism discourse, with political definition from Islam, attracts the forces of marginalized and excluded frommodernization discourse. This discourse suggests analternative model for
communitymanagement through a new formation that offers from Islam. Islamism discourse challenges the European modernization in Islamic societies. With offering a political narrative from Islam, Islamists provide resistance forces against the hegemony of European modernity discourse.
