Socialist Criticism Applied to Islamic HistoryBy LIQA ALWARDThe most important argument Professor Al Da’mi develops in The other Islam; Shi’ism: From Idol-Breaking to Apocalyptic Mahdism (the Revised Edition) is that which ascribes Shi’i Islam to a species of class hatred; the one that made what he calls “the aristocracy of wealth†fiercely resist the new Islamic “aristocracy of ethicsâ€; led by Prophet Muhammed and his cousin and son-in-law; Ali. The schim in Islam had begun as a quarrel between David and Saul; the Hashemites and Umayyads; then it acquired the above class-struggle dimension to consequently project the whole complexity on Islam outside Arabia; the new era Ali inaugurated in Kufa; adding the regional complexity between pro-Alawite Mesopotamia and pro-Umayyad Syria. One should pay a special attention to the author’s discussion of the mawali problematic within the development of Shi’i opposition and Shi’i extremism.
