Shi'ism and the Democratisation Process In Iran by Ibrahim Moussawi, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Can democracy and Islam cohere? Ibrahim Moussawi asserts that Wilayat al-Faqih, or rule by the jurisprudent, the theory upon which the Islamic Republic was constructed, upholds both individual and communal rights, and provides scope for citizens to express their interests. Moussawi argues that in today's Iran, politics and religion are neither rigid nor diametrically opposed. Ibrahim Moussawi is head of media relations for Hizbullah in Lebanon, and the editor of the party's newspaper al-Intiqad . He has an MA in political science and a doctorate in philosophy of Islamic studies.
