The chapter examines the origins & often violent consequences of the "new" sectarian militancy in Pakistan. At once Islamist & sectarianist (ie, Sunni vs Shia) in thrust, this political movement at its essence engages questions about nationalism, identity mobilization, & ethnic antagonism. The effect has been a volatile political dynamics in which ideological fundamentalism converges with ethnic exclusiveness. Impelled by conflicts in Afghanistan & Kashmir as well as by the 1979 Islamist revolution in Iran, Pakistan's sectarian militants have gained considerable clout in institutional, political, social, & criminal arenas. The state, only recently cognizant of the extent of the militants' power, needs to address the root cause of sectarian militancy & rethink its support for the Taliban & extremists in Kashmir. K. Coddon
