Until the 1960s, little was known inside or outside Iran about the tribes living in the country. The anthropological research of Erika Friedl is now renowned for presenting comprehensive data collected over a 50-year period from her time among the Boir Ahmad tribal people living in the Zagros Mountains of Iran. In this new book, Friedl turns her attention to the subject of religion, which she had only touched upon in her previous work. About ninety percent of people in Iran and nearly everybody in Boir Ahmad are Muslims of the Twelver Shia group. However, studies of tribal people's religiosity, beliefs and rituals are scarce, and many researchers have discounted their views and experience, regarding the tribes as only “nominally religious” because their practices do not fit in with the mainstream practices and ideas in Iran. Religion and Daily Life in the Mountains of Iran corrects this view and provides a hallmark study of tribal people's religiosity. Demonstrating the great diversity of their philosophical and religious ideas, the book reveals the ways in which the tribes choose and express their religion, define their communities and understand their world. From conversations about God and his relationships with people, to observations on ageing and death, and research into the tribe's use of spells, amulets and sacrifices, to their beliefs about saints, health and well-being, the book is an original ethnographic exploration of religion and daily life.

A sweeping new work exploring Iran’s cultural import and influence on each of the world’s major religions Today it is Iran's association with Islam that commands discussion and debate. But this perception obscures a far more influential and complex relationship with religion. Iran has in fact played an unparalleled role in shaping all the world religions, injecting Iranian ideas into the Jewish, Buddhist, Christian, and Muslim traditions. This vivid and surprising work explores the manner in which Persian culture has interacted with and transformed each world faith, from the migration of the Israelites to Iran thousands of years ago, to the influence of Iranian notions on Mahayana Buddhism and Christianity. Travelling through thousands of years of history, Richard Foltz offers a vital and fresh account of our spiritual heritage in this fascinating region.

Unlike much of the instant analysis that appeared at the time of the Iranian revolution, Iran: From Religious Dispute to Revolution is based upon extensive fieldwork carried out in Iran. Michael M. J. Fischer draws upon his rich experience with the mullahs and their students in the holy city of Qum, composing a picture of Iranian society from the inside—the lives of ordinary people, the way that each class interprets Islam, and the role of religion and religious education in the culture. Fischer’s book, with its new introduction updating arguments for the post-Revolutionary period, brings a dynamic view of a society undergoing metamorphosis, which remains fundamental to understanding Iranian society in the early twenty-first century.

The story of the internal clash of Islam versus Islam in today's Iran Two seasoned scholar/journalists of the Islamic world focus on Iran-the modern age's first theocracy-to challenge the prevailing Western belief that the Islamic world is an undifferentiated mass of disaffected and dangerous fanatics. Instead, Geneive Abdo and Jonathan Lyons explore the controversial view that Iranians have a legitimate quarrel with the United States and the West stemming from decades of exploitive foreign policies against Iran and its people. Taking the reader inside the country's key institutions, the authors, whose research includes an astounding three years of intensive meetings with leading theologians, argue that the 1979 Iranian revolution, long viewed in the West as the pursuit of an imagined medieval Utopia, was, in fact, a political movement designed to modernize Islam. A power struggle between conservative and reform elements has provoked a clash that is destabilizing the country and limiting Iran's ability to integrate with the world community. Since 2000, when the authors were forced to flee Iran, free expression has been stifled and the democratically elected president, Mohammad Khatami, has been stripped of power, as have other mullahs who advocate flexibility in the application of Islamic law. The uninformed U.S. response to this struggle has strengthened the hand of the conservatives. The authors demonstrate Iran's critical influence on the world's 1.4 billion Muslims and Islamists and its chances for democracy in the years ahead.

Iran: Harsh Arm of Islam sets out to bulldoze what it considers the most far-reaching and distractive of all travesty created by men. It is not my intention to trash Islam (but to) demonstrate that Shiite belief is irrational to nauseating heights. If world Shiite wishes to continue believing in deceptive teachings of Iran's Shiite ayatollahs after reading this book, that is their privilege, however, they will find it difficult to convince their children that the Shiite Islam is a religion to follow. Iran: Harsh Arm of Islam offers an unvarnished portrait of the Shiite religion, the past Shiite imams, including Imam Khomeini, and the struggle of Iranians fighting a conspiracy in the name of religion.Iran: Harsh Arm of Islam is not just another hysterical anti-Islam polemic but a forensic peep into the guts of Islam written by an intelligent, angry and compelling Muslim critics intimately involve with current events.This lively and compelling book is a product of nearly a decade of research and reflection on the relation and the polarization between secular minded Iranians and the Arab Iranian clergy. It shows the lack of patriotism toward Iran and the Islamic institution's loyalty to the sands of Arabia.. The book's balance critique and recommendations are credible and deserve serious considerations. Among much suggestion for change is for Iranians to shun the Arab ethos, The Arab Islam, and the Arab Allah. The seven-century Arab Allah that Arabs brought into Persia was created in their own image, helplessly incompetent and supremely ignorant. The ayatollah's of antiquity attributed superlative, culture-specific, human words to their Allah. Their Allah is accorded the epithets of allinfinite, all compassion, all merciful, all powerful, all knowing, and all seeing. As some Iranians would say, they "put watermelons under Allah's armpit to puff up his chest." It was also a smart way to promote the class and status of mullahs in the Iranian society. In assigning all power to Allah and to themselves the prerogative to carry out that power, they have obtained a free hand. Iranians should do away with the morbid Arab months in the Arabic calendar, especially the months of Moharram and Safar. At the same time, they should throw out the Arab Allah and embrace their own God. The Persian God of pre-Arab Islam who championed love, Compassion, wisdom, and tolerance for all people and all religions. By doing away with Arab Allah, Shiite clergies can no longer bequeath each other honorific titles by adding the word Allah to nouns to give definite and specific connotation to Arab Allah such as Ayat-Allah(Allah's "miraculous" sign), Ruh-Allah (Allah's spirit), Hojat-Allah (Allah's proof), to exert their influence over Iranians. Iranians will be able to study and choose any religion without fearing the firing squads. Also, Iranians should convert thousands of useless mosques that are centers for "prevention of knowledge" with much needed libraries, computer, Art, social activities, and learning centers. Perhaps in the past, the world has not been conscious of one of the most dangerous place, the "triangle of Terror" (Qom, 'Iran, Karbala, Najaf, 'Iraq', its complicity, its perverse brand of theology, its zealous opposition to western democracy, or at best, saw it as a rather more distance peril, but from this day on, the world must be on alert and worry.
