if I may be of use, do you mean of what is the connection between religion and politics in the muslim world in history.
for the past 300 years, just as snake has said, colonialization has been the back of political issues and has not ceased in our times now.
however, if you mean further back, then yes Islam, the religion, was the political entity since the time of the prophet.
the difference between Islam and anything other than Islam is that success can be achieved by non muslims without the following of correct guidance and correct beleifs and practices meaning that God even allows success to those who worship others besides HIm and do many henious and evil acts.
But in Islam is the opposite. When the muslims do the same, then the effect of such actions are directed at both the social and political aspects of life. Hence when the non muslims do not do what God says, that is fine, at least for now, while for muslims, to Allah, it is not fine and their consequence will be witnessed here on earth.So all the atrocities and whatever pillage and massacres you see happening to the muslims and whatever else maybe be done by people who do not ascribe themselves to islam, but theologically, it is our fault for if we would have stuck to what we were suppose to be upon, then whatever you and everyone else has seen would not have happened in the first place. basically the success and victory of the enemies of Islam lies only, ONLY in the muslims lack of following by Allah's permission.
