{"product_id":"the-other-islam-muhammed-al-dami-9781477262344","title":"The Other Islam: Shi'ism: From Idol-Breaking to Apocalyptic Mahdism","description":"The reputation of Shi'ism in the Islamic world, as elsewhere, has undergone many vicissitudes, but it is now higher than ever. In this important new study, The author moves us toward an understanding of the social, intellectual, and theological crises that Prophet Muhammed and Ali, together with some of the early Muslims (the precursors of Shi'ism) were struggling to solve. The issues were many: the Idolatry; their social and economic crystallizations in class, tribalism, gender and ethnicity attitudes; the necessity of the revolutionary; the continuity of the rebellious ethos; the question of the non-Arab converts to Islam; the exaggeration of the status of the imams (Shi'i extremism); the extension of the Shi'i idol-Breaking spirit to encompass modern issues and novel contemporary phenomena. The author brings to the discussion of these complicated questions the lively investigation that many readers are not expected to know and comprehend within the context of the contemporary sectarianism which penetrates and segments the Islamic world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Muhammed Al Da'mi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1477262342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781477262344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Authorhouse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Muhammed Al Da'mi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48439322607871,"sku":"9781477262344","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0d76b58b-19fc-4ee0-a954-0bfcd180954d.jpg?v=1777176918","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-other-islam-muhammed-al-dami-9781477262344","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
