The Shia heartlands would remain in the region where the deaths of Ali and Hussain took place - present Iraq and Iran. In particular the death, and the manner in which it took place, of Hussain and his followers at Karbala have helped shape the Shia world-view. The need to stand up against all odds on a matter of principle, the readiness for martyrdom total passion, disregard for death and acceptance of tragedy are familiar aspects of the Shia. It is termed by scholars the 'Karbala paradigm' (Fischer 1980). Iran since its Islamic revolution has exhibited aspects of the Karbala paradigm which would help explain its actions (查看原文)

算是近现代伊斯兰概述吧。还是偏对伊斯兰教的尊崇，但总体还算客观。如果有条件，作者对巴基斯坦，及国父真那的热爱会占用更多的篇幅表达的更充分。呈现的内容还是有比较大局限的，躲避了很多问题，有为尊者讳之嫌。最值得称道的是作为一名逊尼派穆斯林对苏菲派还是比较中肯的。

不论是角度 还是叙事 以及翻译 都是不错的一本书。当然中间不可避免存在一些有争议的部分，但总体可以接受

与预期相差甚远。作者行文缺乏逻辑，很多地方连通顺都做不到，不知是否翻译原因。作者对于自己所说的跳出偏见，律己似乎太过宽松。相对于血腥来说，可能温和了。但从绝对程度上，仍然有比较严重的伊斯兰中心主义。并且这种偏见似乎是骨子里的，哪怕作者极力想和非伊斯兰和解，但他的思想仍然是很难让别人接受的。另外，与《自由与荣耀》中狂黑真纳不同，这里狂赞真纳啊，呵呵，孰是孰非，你们（印巴）先好好争论下吧。
