Madrasah-Extremism Nexus: Context and Contemporary Debates

Madrasah–Extremism Nexus: Context and Contemporary Debates examines the widely debated relationship between Islamic seminaries (madrasahs) and violent extremism. The book critically evaluates common assumptions, drawing on historical, political, and social contexts to argue that the connection is more complex than often portrayed. It discusses the evolution of Pakistan's madrasah system, state policies, security concerns, educational reforms, and the broader challenges of religious education in South Asia.
