Pervez Musharraf - Image of a moderate leader.
Musharraf is considered a moderate leader by Western governments. Many believe that Musharraf is sincere in his desire to bridge the Islamic and Western worlds and has previously spoken strongly against the idea of the inevitability of a 'clash of civilisations' between them. Furthermore, he has coined the phrase of "Enlightened Moderation" and is believed to be an ardent promulgator of the same. Musharraf's emotional ties to the United States may be conjectured to b ...

Pervez Musharraf - Support for Bush administration's 'War on terror'.
Following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States, Secretary of State Colin Powell and other administration officials met with Musharraf.

| | | | Pervez Musharraf - Early years: Encyclopedia II - Pervez Musharraf - Controversy over being both President and military head A pro-Musharraf party, the PML-Q, won a plurality in the elections of October 2002, and formed a majority coalition with independents and allies such as the MQM. Nevertheless, the opposition parties effectively deadlocked the National Assembly, refusing to accept the legitimacy of Musharraf's authority. In December 2003, as part of a compromise with the main Islamist opposition group, the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal, General Musharraf said he would step down as Army Chief by January 1, 2005. In return, the MMA agreed to support a constitutional amendment that would retroactively legalize Musha ...

Following his coup in 1999, US President Bill Clinton called Musharraf to express his concern [2] about the coup and his desire for stability in South Asia.

He then went on to exclaim that "a lot of people say if you want to go abroad and get a visa for Canada or citizenship and be a millionaire, get yourself raped."

Pervez Musharraf - Image of a moderate leader.
Musharraf is considered a moderate leader by Western governments. Many believe that Musharraf is sincere in his desire to bridge the Islamic and the Western worlds and has previously spoken strongly against the idea of the inevitability of a 'clash of civilisations' between them.
