The "Shiʼi crescent" myth and reality

"This paper argues that far from there being a threatening "Shiʼi crescent," or a Middle East about to be torn apart along Muslim sectarian lines, the pattern has been for mixed Sunni-Shiʼi states to remain intact. The reason is that important differences remain among Shiʼi communities. In many cases, the Shiʼah are more concerned with changing their lot within their existing countries than in binding themselves to Iran, the largest Shiʼi community in the region, or in creating any other form of pan-Shiʼi alliance"--Executive summary.
