Description
Introduction During the 1980s, the Parti Islam SeMalaysia (Islamic Party of Malaysia, PAS) deepened its religious hue. However, even as PAS dedicated itself expressly to the formation of an Islamic state, it continued to contest elections. In an important analysis, Farish Noor (2003, p. 225) tried to gauge the extent of the party's new agendas, asking "just how committed is PAS to its vision of radical Islamism?" This article changes focus, seeking to evaluate the robustness of the party's respect for democratic procedures.
