Imams and Emirs: State, Religion and Sects in Islam
Fuad I. Khuri
Presents a comparative study of Islamic sects in the contemporary Arab world. This book argues that conflicts among Muslims arise from the struggle between two opposing forces: religious, doctrinaire authorities (imams) and leaders who derive their authority from power and coercion (emirs).
