The Druze

The Druze

Robert Brenton Betts

Yale University Press
1990
pokkari
In the first complete account of the Druze, Robert Brenton Betts provides a general survey of the history, traditions, and society of this secretive Arab sect. Betts, who has spent a great deal of time with the Druze, interweaves his firsthand observations with a wealth of primary and secondary sources, describing not only their thousand-year history but also their political significance in today’s Middle East.“A deeply informed, brightly written account of the Druze that will be read with profit by students of Middle East history, politics, religion, and anthropology as well as by everyone with an interest in Lebanon, Syria, and Israel.”—Michael C. Hudson, Georgetown University“A broad and exotic historical view.”—Jewish Chronicle“A most illuminating essay.”—Choice“An excellent introduction to the study of the Druze…. Betts adds an extra flavor to his study by providing personal impressions based on his first-hand knowledge of the Druze villages and towns in Lebanon, Syria, and Israel.”—Marius Deeb, Middle East Journal“A first-rate authoritative general survey.”—John Clark, Theological Book Review
The Sunni-Shi'a Divide

The Sunni-Shi'a Divide

Robert Brenton Betts

Potomac Books Inc
2013

Until the attacks of September 11, 2001, few Americans knew anything about Islam, let alone about the distinctions between Sunni and Shi‘a, the Sufi and Wahhabi, the origins of the Holy Qur’an and Shari‘a law, and the respect that all Muslims, even secular ones, harbor for the prophet Muhammad, his family, and Islamic traditions. In The Sunni-Shi‘a Divide Robert Betts traces the tortuous history of Islam’s sectarian divisions, emphasizing the most important one, the Shi‘a departure from Sunni “orthodoxy.” Although the majority of Muslims remain faithful to the Sunni sect of Islam, approximately 15 percent subscribe to the Shi‘a creed. As America’s involvement in the Middle East drags on, Betts reiterates that policymakers, scholars, and laymen alike must understand the many faces of Islam, the internal forces in the United States that have brought us into these military conflicts, and the role of Israel in the region’s escalating tensions. How the increasing hostility between the two main Islamic factions plays out on the world stage-as Sunni Turkey, Shi‘a Iran, and their allies vie for dominance-is of major consequence for everyone, especially financially strapped Europe and the United States.
