The Holy Crescent
About a month ago, I finished reading a book by Karen Armstrong titled ‘A Short History of Islam’, short and succint, but very enlightening history of the growth of the religion.
It made me realize that essentially, the religion is trying to evolve towards a perfect society, that it is far more ‘communal’ in a secular sense than we understand it, and that a number of violent upheaveals in Islamic society have contributed to the violence that we witness in the middle-East today.
So, I read with the greatest pleasure, an interesting article on the Shiite forces holding power in Iran in the context of the recent upheaveals there. The link is posted on my blog, and those interested are requested to kindly check it out (Or click here).
