Introduction

This topic is intended as an attempt to shed some light on ‎key contemporary issues in Asia. It focuses primarily on issues ‎affecting Muslims and the whole region. Although such issues may ‎appear to be political ones, they are about identity and ideology. The ‎influence on economic and social status is crystal clear.‎ It is to be noted that it is difficult to cover ‎all contemporary issues in Asia in such concise topic. ‎However, let it be the starting point to read and discover and possibly ‎write on the forgotten and even marginalized challenges, problems, ‎and issues of the Muslim world in Asia.
