In Focus: Danish media and Pakistani Islam

Over the past decade, the news about Pakistan in the Danish media has been mostly related to the acts of religious extremism, terrorism and radicalism whereas a more rampant folk Islam practised by the majority of Pakistani people is completely missing from the media scene.

In this week’s In Focus blog on the AsiaPortal Uzma Rehman, with a Ph.D. from the Department of History of Religions, Copenhagen University, takes a look at the major elements about the Pakistani Islam emphasized in the Danish media and compare them with the tradition of Sufi shrines and saint-veneration practiced in Pakistan for centuries.

In the In Focus section of the AsiaPortal we address an up-to-date topic and ask a Nordic expert in this area to write a short opinion in an attached blog. We warmly welcome researchers, students, experts and others interested in the topic to give their comments in the blog.

We would also like to form a network of people who would be interested in participating with opinions in future In Focus themes. Anyone interested can contact us on [email protected]
