	Islamic party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An Islamic party is a political party that promotes Islam as a political movement by offering nominees for election in a democracy - of which there are several in the Islamic world.
		Islamic parties may, on occasion, resort to militant strategies (such as in the case of the Muslim Brotherhood).
		Islamic parties may vary from extreme fundamentalists, such as the theocratic Islamic Revolution of Iran, to parties which conform to constituionally enforced secular democratic ideals, such as in the case of the moderate Islamic Ak party in Turkey.

	PAS (political party) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Islamic Party of Malaysia (commonly known as PAS or Pas, from the Malay Parti Islam SeMalaysia) is an Islamist political party in Malaysia and is currently headed by Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang.
		PAS positions itself as an Islamist party that aims to establish Malaysia as an Islamist theocratic country based on Islamic legal theory derived from medieval jurists like Shafie as opposed to Barisan Nasional's Islam Hadhari, which is based on literal reading from the Quran.
		The party leader, Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang even lost his parliamentary seat while one of the seven seats was won because a Barisan Nasional candidate was disqualified on a technicality.

	Islam and Politics in Malaysia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Islamic movement in Malaysia comprises various individuals and groups who, while sharing a common belief in the centrality of Islamic values to social progress, differ markedly in their answers to the question of what constitute a contemporary Islamic society, and in the strategies they adopt for the realization of this society.
		Even the Islamic Party leaders, who were ardent critics of Anwar siding with UMNO, realized the gravity of the loss they had incurred as a result of his sacking, and put their full weight behind him.
		Malaysia is very likely to be able to pull itself through the rough economic terrain in the foreseeable future, but it could find itself down the road faced with a serious political crisis should the privileged elites surrounding Mahathir become entrenched in power.

	Islamic medicine - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Islamic medicine
		Doctors in Islamic hospitals were trained according to the ideas of Hippocrates, including his technique of clinical observation that focused on recording the symptoms and course of an illness.
		In general, although Islamic medicine kept the ideas of the ancient world alive during this period, it did not develop anatomical knowledge to any greater heights than had been reached in the Roman era.
		The importance of Islamic medicine during this period lies in its preservation of the texts of classical scholars, lost to Europe following the fall of the Roman Empire, and its creation of new sources of medical knowledge in the books written by doctors such as Avicenna and Rhazes.

	Mahathir bin Mohamad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Approaching the Malaysia's second general elections in 1959, he, as State Party Chairman, and Chairman of the Political Committee, suggested that the selection of candidates be based on certain qualifications.
		In the subsequent 2004 elections, the party nearly lost all representation at the Malaysian parliament with the only Keadilan member of parliament, Wan Azizah who won by the narrowest of margins mainly based on sympathetic votes due to the Anwar crisis and thereon ceased to be relevant.
		Mahathir's relationship with Australia (the closest country in the Anglosphere to Malaysia, and the one whose foreign policy is most concentrated on the region), and his relationship with Australia's political leaders, has been particularly rocky.

	Malaysia - PAS learns a lesson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		While the leaders of the "Islamic" Refah Party in Turkey were shaking hands with the secular front, Malaysia's Parti Islam Se- Malaysia (PAS), the largest Islamic political organisation in the country, was doing the exact opposite.
		On July 14, the party leadership announced that it was breaking all ties with its coalition partner, a Malay nationalist breakaway of the ruling UMNO, otherwise known as Semangat 46 (Spirit of 46).
		Although the alliance with the secular Malay nationalist party was an astute political move by PAS to capture the east-coast state of Kelantan in the 1990 general election, which it did, this has considerably eroded PAS's claim as the sole Islamic party in the eyes of many purists.

		Since PAS is an Islamic party, the propagation of ad-Da'wah al-Islamiyyah (the call for Islam) becomes part and parcel of its main activities.
		It is also notable to point out that although many political parties of Malaysia are based on racial hegemony such as the UMNO which congregates all the Malays in a single party, MIC (Malaysian Indian Congress) for the Indians and MCA (Malaysian Chinese Organization) for the Chinese.
		Malaysia is a multi-racial state, dominated by the Western Imperialist power in the early 16th Century, first by the Portuguese in 1511, the Dutch in 1642 and finally from 1786 until 1957 by the British Colonials.

		In 2000, an Islamic court sentenced four persons to 3-year prison terms for not recanting their alleged heretical beliefs and "return[ing] to the true teachings of Islam." The court rejected their argument that they were not subject to Islamic (Shari'a) law because they had ceased to be Muslims.
		While practices vary from state to state, both the Government and the opposition Islamic party have attempted to use mosques in the states they control to deliver politically oriented messages.
		Members of such groups can be arrested and detained, with the consent of the Islamic court, to be "rehabilitated" and returned to the "true path of Islam." The Selangor Religious Department detained 66 members of a "deviationist" group in 2003 and arrested 96 followers of another "deviationist" sect in April.

		Since 1951, when the Islamists in Umno broke away from the party that had been in existence for five years and formed their own party -- then called the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PMIP) -- due to Umno’s reluctance to implement the proposed Islamic programmes, it had always used the Islamic platform.
		Of course its attempt to implement Islamic laws in Kelantan was thwarted by the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) that held a two-thirds majority in Parliament.
		PAS was in no hurry to push through its Islamic programmes for Terengganu though, for it knew the ruling BN, which still controlled a two-thirds majority in Parliament, would block it just like it did in Kelantan nine years earlier.
