State and Sufism in Iraq
Building a "Moderate Islam" Under Saddam Husayn
Ebook (PDF Format)
State and Sufism in Iraq is the first comprehensive study of the Iraqi Bäth regime's (r. 1968-2003) entanglement with Sufis and of Sunni Sufi Islam in Iraq from the late Ottoman period until 2003 and beyond.For far too long, the secular and authoritarian Bäth regime has been reduced to the dictator Saddam Husayn and portrayed as antireligious.

State and Sufism in Iraq is the first comprehensive study of the Iraqi Bäth regime's (r. 1968-2003) entanglement with Sufis and of Sunni Sufi Islam in Iraq from the late Ottoman period until 2003 and beyond.For far too long, the secular and authoritarian Bäth regime has been reduced to the dictator Saddam Husayn and portrayed as antireligious. It's growing political employment of Islam during the 1990s, in turn, has been interpreted either as an abstract Bäthist-nationalist Islam or as an ideological U-turn from secularism to a form of Islamism that ultimately contributed to the spread of Islamist terrorism after 2003. Broadening the narrow focus on Saddam Husayn, this book analyses other leading regime figures, their close entanglement with Sufis, and Bäth religious politics of a state-sponsored revival of Sufi Islam and Iraq's broad and distinct Sufi culture. It is the story of a secular regime's search for moderate Islam in order to overcome the challenges of radical Islamism and sectarianism in Iraq.The book's two-pronged interdisciplinary approach that deals equally with politics and Sufi Islam in Iraq makes it a valuable contribution to scholars and students in Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies, Religious Anthropology and Sociology, Political Science, and International Relations.
