The most important battle in the world right now may not be between radical Islam and the West but between Islam and itself. The fourteen-hundred-year-old religion has hit a crossroads. Moderates and extremists are vying for influence and power in this ancient tradition, and perhaps nowhere is that struggle more evident than in Pakistan. As one of the largest Muslim countries, with a population of 150 million, Pakistan is a test case for a religion that is being pulled apart by the twin tensions of modernity and fundamentalism.

Salman Ahmad is very likely the only rock star alive who is also a medical
doctor by training. In the aftermath of Sept. 11, he gained the distinction
of becoming a frequent talking head on international news programs like
CNN and the BBC, which were curious to know what life was like as both
a practicing Muslim and a professional guitar-slinger living in one
of the most dangerous cities on earth -- Karachi, Pakistan. If Ahmad’s
name doesn’t ring a bell, that’s a sure sign you’re not a teen-age girl
living in Asia. His band, Junoon -- the name means “passion” in Urdu
-- is one of the most celebrated and fawned-over rock groups on the
continent, despite the fact that many of its songs consist of ancient
Sufi poetry put to music. The New York Times once called Junoon
“Asia’s answer to Santana,” but I like VH1’s interpretation better.
During that channel’s Susan Sarandon-hosted documentary about the band,
called Islamabad Rock City, Junoon is referred to as “the U2
of Pakistan.”

If you're looking to unwind with Salman Ahmad you better forget it.
Ever felt like you're in the middle of a mini tornado? Well, that is
pretty much what Junoon's lead guitarist is like on even a Sunday. Salman
is always wired up, tuned in and ready to (rock) and roll with the kind
of long life batteries that could earn him a packet if he could replicate
them and sell them in the open market . I've been fitted into this whirlwind
schedule somewhere between a flight in from New York, a post-production
meeting with documentary maker Ruhi Hamid with whom he has just finished
shooting a second documentary after 'The Rockstar and the Mullahs,'
and an onward flight to Oslo where Salman is going to collect an award
for promoting peace in South Asia. Most of the interview is conducted
on the Piccadilly line en-route to Heathrow and then we get sidetracked
by all the 900 other things Salman and I want to gossip about but aren't
printable. more
