Foreword

To maintain our identity as an international journal, we strive to publish articles that are from a diversity of authors. We have fulfilled this endeavour in the previous editions of this journal, and this sixth edition of Muslim Politics Review (MPR) is no different. We are pleased that we are able to maintain this tradition. This edition of MPR consists of articles that cover topics across multiple countries: Pakistan, Bangladesh, Libya, Turkey, Indonesia, and Southeast Asia as a region. The writers, nationality-wise, are diverse as well: one Pakistani, two Bangladeshis, two Indonesians, one Westerner (a Caucasian), and one Cambodian.
