Description: Vying for Allah's Vote : Understanding Islamic Parties, Political Violence and Extremism in Pakistan, Paperback by Ullah, Haroon K., ISBN 1626160155, ISBN-13 9781626160156, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UK Although political parties in democracies are presumed to become more moderate over time, the author notes this is not the case with Islamic parties in developing Muslim states. Ullah analyzes this and other dynamics at play in Pakistan, a nation where political violence and extremism are persistent though inconstant features. Pakistani politics is heavily influenced by 'confessional’ parties, political factions which are organized around promoting the interests and proportional rights of religious groups. Assassinations and other forms of extremism form a difficult landscape for democracy; yet, Ullah observes, Pakistani parties are often fierce defenders of democracy, in particular when engaged in struggles for power against an established elite, and are capable of exercising moderation and building coalitions. With a detailed examination of Pakistan’s political history and particularly party history, this book also explores the question of whether, as some presume, Islam and democracy are truly mutually exclusive and ideologically incompatible, and whether Pakistan is providing evidence to the contrary.
