"This book presents an unprecedented study of the sometimes violent debates about Islam in Pakistan. Zaman is refreshingly original in showing how such debates continue being shaped by modernist thinking, even among its enemies and while modernism's liberal spokesmen have themselves been increasingly marginalized in Pakistani society."--Faisal Devji, University of Oxford "Surveying moral, intellectual, and legal debates between clerics, Sufis, politicians, and terrorists, Zaman's peerlessly comprehensive book grapples with such contested issues as the retraction of Islamic modernism and the consequences of Islamist violence. Via archives and texts in Arabic and Urdu, this work of courageous and meticulous scholarship lays bare Pakistan's competing conceptions of Islam."--Nile Green, author of Terrains of Exchange: Religious Economies of Global Islam "The strength of this book lies in its broad and deep engagement with a wide variety of interpreters of Islamic thought in Pakistan, tracking the contours of the debates and arguments among them. A tour de force."--David Gilmartin, North Carolina State University "Islam in Pakistan is an excellent book that explores the distinctive features of the religious ideas and practices, legislation, and policy reforms in the modern state carved out of colonial India."--Ebrahim Moosa, University of Notre Dame
