Encyclopaedia Of Islamic Fundamentalism Pakistan And The Muslim World

by Md. Irshad Khan

Overview

lslamic fundamentalism provides a glaring example of imperialist hypocrisy. Now the USA and the imperialist West pose as the biggest enemy of lslamic fundamentalism and try to fool the working class in the West by presenting fundamentalism as a big challenge to world peace. But it was the same lmperialism that used these fundamentalist forces against the left in various Muslim countries. The Jamaat lslamic of Pakistan provided the main force, but the above-mentioned parties also sent their share. Pakistan is situated in a region where fundamentalism has been posed, of late, as one of the most threatening questions. The process initiated by the lslamic revolution in lran has even been internationalised by the Taliban's victory in Afghanistan. At the same time, the rise of Hindu radicalism in lndia has further complicated the situation in Pakistan. Recently lslamic fundamentalism has risen as an alternative political phenomenon not only in Pakistan but also in the entire Muslim world. This book highlights the development of fundamentalism in modern lslam and poses many questions about the connect interpretation of the lslamic tenets. This will enable our readers to form their own considered opinion on the subject of lslamic fundamentalism in Pakistan and other Muslim world.
