PERFORMANCE
Hailing from South Asia’s best known rock band, Junoon, Ahmad electrifies with solo material from his 2005 album, Infiniti. A rocker with a lot of heart, the Pakistani artist, formerly of Vital Signs, uses the power of music to spread awareness about HIV in South Asia and promote peace between Pakistan and India.

NY Event: Frontline Pakistan: The Struggle with Militant Islam - 3/13

Asia Society cordially invites you to

Frontline Pakistan: The Struggle with Militant Islam

Featuring
Zahid Hussain, Pakistan correspondent for the Times of London, the Wall
Street Journal, and Newsweek.
Hasan-Askari Rizvi, Pakistan Studies Scholar, Johns Hopkins University
(moderator)

After September 11, 2001, President Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan vowed to
fight extremism in his country and has since established himself as a key
ally in America's "global war on terror." But as veteran Pakistani
journalist and commentator Zahid Hussain reveals in this book, President
Musharraf is in an impossible position. Based on exclusive interviews
with key players and grassroots radicals, Zahid Hussain, exposes the
threads of Pakistan's complex political power web and the consequences of
President Musharraf's decision to support the U.S.'s drive against
jihadism, which essentially took Pakistan to war with itself.

"Frontline Pakistan is the first serious exposure of the rise and
continuation of Islamic extremism in Pakistan. Zahid Hussain shows the
links between the major jihadi groups of Pakistan, Al Qaeda, and the ISI
with a degree of detail not seen in any Western writing on the subject"
-Ahmed Rashid, author of Taliban: Militant Islam, Oil and
Fundamentalism in Central America
