Book Synopsis Extremist Shiites by : Matti Moosa

Download or read book Extremist Shiites written by Matti Moosa and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1988-02-01 with total page 614 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Little is known in the West about the division of the Islamic world into Shiites and Sunnites and even less about the stratification of these two groups, with most of the attention going to the Sunnites. Moosa's comprehensive study of the origins and cultural aspects of the different extremist, or Ghulat, Shiite sects in the Middle East is a ground-breaking work. These sects whose 'extremism' is essentially religious are generally a peaceful people and, except for the Nusayris of Syria, are not political activists.
