- Title
Islam and Sectarianism: The Major Split and Its Manifestations.
- Authors
Abdulmajid, Adib
- Abstract
Sectarianism constitutes a major challenge to cultural diversity in today's Middle East. It arises at the core of the crises that hit various parts of the region over the recent years. While the roots of the sectarian divide, as tackled in the context of this article, originate in the early history of Islam, its manifestations appear to take various forms and continue to re-emerge as one of the defining dimensions of the rifts and conflicts that persist to afflict the region today. Given the fact that the sectarian narrative has become a defining feature of major crises striking the Middle East, this article tackles the notion of sectarianism, delves into its evolution throughout the Islamic history, and analyses the associated threat it poses to cultural diversity today.
