Morphology

Islamization = Islamize (transparent) = Islam + ize + ation

Formed by adding the productive nominalizing suffix '-ation' to the verb 'Islamize', yielding the process or result meaning.

Etymology

Islamization starts with Islam, the name of the religion from Arabic that means 'submission', and ends with the ending -ization, a common ending that means 'the process of making or becoming', as in modernization. So Islamization is the process of making people, societies, or laws more Islamic.
