The focus of the study is on three key countries Pakistan, Malaysia and Indonesia, as the countries with the largest Muslim majorities in the world, though there are significant historical and current differences in the role played by Islam, each of these countries is to a greater or lesser extent searching for an accommodation involving organized Islam.
