pp. 287, “To most Western eyes, all Islamic movements look alike, and the central conflict in the Middle East is one between religion and secularism. Shockingly little has been written about the bitter divide between Shia and Sunni. Yet without understanding their ancient conflict – and its modern embodiment in the power struggle between Iran and Saudi Arabia for political and spiritual leadership of the Muslim world – it is impossible to comprehend events across the so-called Shia Crescent, from East Africa through Iraq and Pakistan to India.”
