| Zusammenfassung: | Few militant ideologues in Pakistan have managed to attain a reverence as high as Mufti Nizamuddin Shamzai. His ideology and thoughts influenced and produced a number of terrorist and extremist organisations. Until his assassination in 2004, he had issued fatwas, held messianic and anti-Semitic views, glorified Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. All this made him prominent among terrorists and extremists when few had talked about these issues. Most importantly, he remained an undisputed ideologue among local, regional and global terrorists and extremists. It is thus important to comprehend his ideology in order to understand the dynamics of the Islamist extremist movement in Pakistan. |
