This paper examines the relationship between political Islam and the quest for nuclear weapons in Pakistan and Iran. The author writes, for example, that Pakistan's nuclear arsenal emerges not merely as a national asset giving deterrent capability against a conventionally superior India but also as an Islamic bomb, whose use should be available to the entire Ummah. He concludes by discussing the regional security implications of Pakistan and Iran's nuclear programs.
