The Adnan Husain Show

Professor Adnan Husain is joined by activist Mehmet Ali Arslan to examine how sectarian division is being sown by the use and abuse of Islamic and Middle Eastern History. In particular they discuss how Sunni-Shi'i tension and polarization is fanned by references to events of early Islam as well as Ottoman vs. Safavid dynastic competition. They look at an interesting letter from Ottoman Sultan Selim the Grim to Shah Isma'il of Persia that is being used currently to manufacture consent for imperialist designs in the Levant.
