The Geopolitics of the Civil War of Shia Islam

by Iakovos Alhadeff

Overview

Unlike the Sunni Muslim world, which has been very divided during the energy war that was given the code name “Arab Spring”, the Shia Muslims have been relatively united.

But recently there are signs of cracks in the Shia camp too. Many Shia Muslims of Iraq are calling for a normalization with the Sunni world, and a breaking of ties with Iran, which is the main Shia power of the Muslim world.

This essay examines the main factors that cause the cracks in the Shia camp.

About the Author

I have studied economics to postgraduate level. I never worked as an economist though. I worked in the field of charter accountancy and I completed the relevant professional exams (the Greek equivalent of the English A.C.A.). My essays are written for the general reader with no economic or accounting knowledge, and the emphasis is on intuition. All my documents are extremely pro market and quite anti-socialist in nature. I admire economists from the Chicago and the Austrian School i.e. Milton Friedman, Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich Hayek, Henry Hazlitt, Murray Rothbard. I am Greek and English is not my first language, so I hope you will excuse potential errors in my syntax.
