Sectarian divisions within the Islamic world have long been misunderstood and misconstrued by the media and the general public. In this comprehensive book, Adam R.

He explores the historical development, beliefs, and practices of these sects, challenging readers to consider the usefulness and scope of the concept of sectarianism in this historical context.
