Different Muslim communities are interpreting - in this case within Pakistan, but it is a phenomenon occurring worldwide - the intersections of Islam and modernity, and where women's roles and rights fit into that equation. In Pakistan, myriad constituencies are grappling with reinterpreting women's rights. This book analyzes the Government of Pakistan's construction of an understanding of what constitutes women's rights, moves on to address traditional views and contemporary popular opinion on women's rights, and then focuses on three very different groups' perceptions of women's rights: progressive women's organizations' as represented by the Aurat Foundation and Shirkat Gah; orthodox Islamist views' as represented by the Jama'at-i-Islami, the MMA government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (2002-08) and al-Huda; and the Swat Taliban. The resultant 'culture wars' are visibly ripping the country apart, as groups talk past one another, each confidant that they are the proprietors of culture and interpreters of religion while others are misrepresenting it.
