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

Some of the have been labeled as terrorists like the male Osama bin Laden or female Maryam Rajavi, while other have been praised as freedom fighters, like the female Shirin Ebadi or the male Husayn ibn Ali.

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.
