Vali Nasr — The Sunni-Shia Divide and the Future of Islam (May 21, 2009)

from On Being · host On Being Studios

We seek fresh insight into the history and the human and religious dynamics of Islam's Sunni-Shia divide. Our guest Vali Nasr says that it is not so different from dynamics in periods of Western Christian history. But he says that by bringing the majority Shia to power in Iraq, the U.S. has changed the religious dynamics of the Middle East.
