Daniel Pipes quotes Hafeez Malik of Villanova University who writes that: "Pakistanis have started to speculate that Pakistan's natural habitat includes [[Turkey]], [[Iran]], [[Afghanistan]], and the [[Central Asia]] Republics." Pipes then writes that "Sometimes called ''Islamistan'', this region gets counterpoised against the Arabic-speaking south." [http://www.danielpipes.org/article/242]
Some suggest that [[Imam]] [[Khomeini]] in [[Iran]] also spoke of a united [[Shia]] ''Islamistan'' with Iran as the capital.
== Uses ==
'''Urban Use:'''
The use of the term "[http://omar.mahfoudhi.googlepages.com/islamistan Islamistan]" was coined by [http://omar.mahfoudhi.googlepages.com/home Omar Mahfoudhi] as a way respond to the question commonly asked of [[Muslims]] who choose to be indistinguishable by ethnic origin or national association. When asked "where are you from?” one would respond by saying: "Islamistan" suggesting a foremost allegiance to an Islamic identity and not to a particular nation or country as exists today. This response is also used to diffuse any attempt to associate preconceived notions about ones personality or nature based on their national heritage or ethnic origin.
