Shia and Iranian Ascendance: Sunni and American Perceptions
Published By: Institute for Peace and Conflict Studies | Published Date: August, 01 , 2007The primary aim of this paper, however, is not to account for the historical/political rise of Shiaism or of Iran, or even debate the existence of the so-called ‘Shia Crescent,’ but to examine instead, the perceptions of Sunni Arab states and the US, who feel threatened by a pan-Shia
movement. It is in this respect that this paper seeks to add to existing scholarship.
