List of Muslim leaders and politicians

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There is a wide range of Muslim politicians, from dictators like Saddam Hussain to democratic leaders like Benazir Bhutto or theocratic leaders like Khomeini.

Some of them are non-leader politicians, like the members of the unicameral Iranian parliament, named "the Islamic Consultative Assembly" or "Majles-e Shura-ye Eslami", consisting of 290 members elected to a 4-year term.
