  • Religious persecution in Pakistan

    Violence increasing against the beleaguered Ahmadiyya community

    Pakistan's anti-Ahmadi laws have been in place for almost 40 years now, and the impact on this religious minority has been devastating.

  • Fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan

    Where the warlords still hold sway

    The militias of Afghan warlords have always occupied a dubious position in the life of the country. But Kabul relies on them as allies in the battle against the Taliban – a strategy, however, that is having the opposite effect. By Emran Feroz

  • Islam in Pakistan

    The myth of the Muslim monolith

    In Pakistan, a radical minority of Muslims has usurped the definition of "Islam". Since the 1980s, government policies have supported their radical and violent ideology, and the judiciary confirmed that trend. The bitter irony is that the militant groups that benefited from state action are now not only terrorising the people, but rising up against the state itself. By Maryam S. Khan
