This book argues that ever since Iran's Islamic Revolution in 1979,
which established a Shia Islamic government in Iran, that country's
religious and political leaders, have used Shia Islam as a crucial
way of expanding Iran's objectives in the Middle East and beyond.
Since 1979, Iran's religious and political leaders have been
concerned about Iran's security in the face of the hostility and
expansionism of the United States and other western countries, and
the threats from powerful neighboring Sunni leaders and countries.
While Iran's government has attempted to align itself with Shia
Muslims in various countries, such as Iraq and Lebanon, against
American and Sunni expansionism, the Iranian government has
attempted to religiously nourish and politically mobilize those
Shias as a matter of principle, not only because of the Iranian
government's desires to protect Iran from external threats. The
book analyzes Shia Islam and politics in Iraq, Iraq, and Lebanon
which have among the largest proportional Shia populations in the
Middle East and are vibrant centers of Shia intellectual life. The
book's clear and jargon-free approach make it especially accessible
for students and general readers who would like an introduction to
the book's topics.
