«Hasta que cambien lo que hay en sus corazones» Comunidad islámica chiita y justicia social en Colombia.

- Abstract
This essay analyzes the senses around the call for social justice in Colombia through the idea of "local Shi'isms", hereby composed of: 1) iconic and counter-hegemonic stories depicting the first martyrs of Shi'a Islam; 2) personal trajectories of Colombian muslims within progressive militancy; and 3) recent selective murders of former FARC guerrilla members. The essay states that the political history of Shi'ism enables the adoption of actions directed to the defense of human rights by Colombian shi'ites. In that sense, this paper proposes the broadening of the analytical spectrum on the social role of non-majority religions in Latin America.
