dc.description.abstract | This paper deals with non-conformist ideas among Iraqi Shi‘is about the territorial
integrity of the modern state of Iraq.
Two findings are presented. First, new Internet communications technology has
enabled radical Shi‘is outside the main clerical, intellectual and political establishments
to propagate visions of an independent Shi‘i state for the areas south of Baghdad,
a scheme that runs counter to a robust and long-standing anti-separatist tradition
among wider sections of the Shi‘i community. Secondly, by choosing the Internet as
their primary modus operandi, the Shi‘i separatists also expose their relative weakness
vis-à-vis other and less radical trends in Iraqi Shi‘i society. | nb_NO |
