4.0 out of 5 stars interesting cultural background, October 14, 2005
This review is from: The Islamic Paradox: Shiite Clerics, Sunni Fundamentalists, and the Coming of Arab Democracy (Paperback)
The author provides a lot of interesting information concerning the structure of Shia Islam and how that may promote (or inhibit) the realization of a successful, demoractic Iraq. Gerecht's background in the region and his language skills also lend much credence to his argument. I do question, howevever, the extent to which he relies on Iran as a model for long-term stability. A good read, though, and a very convincing affirmation of the "nexus" between Islamic radicalism and repressive Arab regimes.
