Drawing on historical evidence and the Islamic instructions,
Sectarianism in Islam: Power, Tribalism and Commercial Interests
provides readers with the knowledge needed to recognize that
sectarianism is and has long been an effective instrument for
manipulation, endorsed and utilized by powerful players. The book
is a careful reflection on and exploration of a subject that has
fundamentally changed the course of action for various political
and ambitious actors. The book challenges readers to place events
in their historical and social contexts, without ignoring the
existing political maneuvers. Furthermore, it underscores the power
of the mind in the rise of Islamic civilization. The author
provides powerful arguments essential for understanding the
interplay of various actors who have exploited sectarianism to
enhance their positions and achieve their goals. Several
evolutionary stages of sectarianism are identified. Though tribal
conflicts took place before the inception of Islam, after the rise
of Islam rivals projected themselves as religiously motivated. In
recent years, two powerful players have espoused contradictory
allegiances, which have further divided the Muslim world. The book,
in fact, shows that the past and the present are alive and that
they profoundly shape the memories of various communities today,
and possibly for many decades to come. Sectarianism in Islam:
Power, Tribalism and Commercial Interests challenges you to let go
of common myths, assumptions and uninformed beliefs that have been
treated as given facts. The book addresses certain difficulties and
setbacks that are pressing social and political actors to shoulder
their responsibilities in the face of misconstruction and
destructive strategies that have led to tragic events. Indeed, the
book is not only a relevant work of scholarship, but it is also a
practical call to enhance civility in conduct and circumvent
pointless conflicts.
