Abstract
Prolonged political, economic and cultural crises along with the modern global world challenges brought out the necessity to search the future way of state and social development for me Middle East countries. «Al hal al islami» (Arabic) - “Islamic solution” was offered by Islamist's ideologists as an authentic truly Islamic way to go out of contemporary crisis. Being fundamental ideology, Islamism offered to change the reality by returning back to the glories past of Muslim community. According to Islamist's ideology, following the prophet Muhammad's way of fighting with un-Islamic enemies, contemporary Muslim community will return back glorious history. Namely it is necessary to start with spreading information about religious dogma and “truly” Islam. That Islam (called «traditional Islam») which exists now all around the world was changed by implementing borrowings and innovations and is not that pure Islam needed to realize the goal. Islamist's ideology strongly reject traditional Islam considering it to be one of the first enemy and calling of it purification. The conflict between Islamist's ideology and traditional Islam and the process of traditional Islam purification from borrowings and innovations are investigated in the article on the cultural examples, such as women clothing, personal names and holidays.
