Islamic fundamentalism provides a glaring example of imperialist hypocrisy.

Now the USA and the imperialist West pose as the biggest enemy of Islamic 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 Imperialism that used these fundamentalist forces against the left in various Muslim countries. The Jamaat Islamic 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 Islamic revolution in Iran has even been internationalised by the Taliban's victory in Afghanistan. At the same time, the rise of Hindu radicalism in India has further complicated the situation in Pakistan. Recently Islamic 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 Islam and poses many questions about the connect interpretation of the Islamic tenets. This will enable our readers to form their own considered opinion on the subject of Islamic fundamentalism in Pakistan and other Muslim world. Content: Islamic Fundamentalism; The Rise of Religious Fundamentalism in Pakistan; Pakistan, India and United States Dysfunctional Triangle: The Kayani Factor; The USA, Af-Pak and China; Economic Cooperation between Pakistan and the Central Asian Republics; Jinnah's Vision of Pakistan and Present Pakistan; Pakistan: In Recent Years.
