Update 2025-10-14 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): "Take over" is defined as controlling the government, regardless of whether this occurs through a coup or democratic process.
Islamist groups include organizations like Hamas. Currently, Tehreek-e-Labbaik is noted as the only major Islamist political party in Pakistan (less extreme than Hamas).
Update 2025-10-14 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): If Tehreek-e-Labbaik is a small constituent of a parliamentary coalition of mostly non-islamist parties, that will not count as an islamist takeover.

if the current army chief gets tired of being a shadow ruler and takes over the country officially, this should resolve YES @JonathanRay
you can verify his islamist inclinations, he is a noted hardliner and apparently he's memorized the Koran
@AlexanderTheGreater take over is defined as controlling the government. Doesn't matter if it's a coup or democratic process. Hamas certainly counts as islamist. Based on a chatgpt summary I think none of the major political parties in pakistan currently are islamist except Tehreek-e-Labbaik, which is less extreme than Hamas.
@JonathanRay Also, if Tahreek-e-Labbaik is a small constituent of a parliamentary coalition of mostly non-islamist parties, that won't count.
