Abstract
This Paper discusses the intricacies of civil-military relations to the trends of the
religious political parties in Pakistan's strategy. Consequently, every diktator has
always had the eye on religious political parties and vice versa. Each military
regime's key objective in spreading the cause of Islam was related to its political
compulsions. The Zia dictatorship, associated with Islam's state patronage, only
strengthened the position of religious influence in politics. Musharraf, however,
attempted to move beyond Zia's model, and look at the Ayub Khan era, but he helped
the religious parties by adopting certificates issued from madrasahs (ijazahs) as
higher school degrees in the name of optimizing the level of parliamentary member
by thus removing many veterans.This paper ends with the remarks that Khaki-Mullah
Nexus reveals a basic political party approach to extremism.
