Chiisme mortifère : les nouveaux combattants de la foi

Abstract

Farhad Khosrokhavar, Deadly Shiism : The New Fighters for the True Faith ; The Iranian revolution is a social movement in which urban youth play a key role. The revolutionary movement is inspired by a Utopia in which injustice, political repression and disinheritance are abolished For a minority within the movement, however, the failure to achieve these goals has resulted in a desire for martyrdom This martyrdom is different in that it is engendered more by a kind of despair than by any idealism It is a phenomenon that will have a negative impact on post-revolutionary Iranian society.
