Title: Political Fragmentation and Islamic Politics in Pakistan
Abstract: How does Islamism influence politics in the world today? Does Islamism turn Muslim people into extremists who seek to create an Islamic state that strictly adheres to Sharia? Or is Islam compatible with the modern nation state system and democracy? These questions about the relationship between Islam and politics have been the topic of recent political discussions in Muslim countries. This chapter aims to contribute to the development of the discussion by looking at the case of Pakistan, which provides us with an intriguing example of political fragmentation caused by Islamic dissent.
