Proposed course on Shia Genocide:
The historical genocide of Shi’a Muslims over the course of 1400 years within the context of Islamic history, tracing its roots in the teachings of Muhammad and the Ahlu al-Bayt, and examines the political events that led to the marginalization and persecution of Shi’a communities. The oppression by Umayyad and Abbasid dynasties, and the reigns of various caliphs. It light on the strategies employed by rulers to suppress Shi’a expressions of faith and the consequences faced by Shi’a Muslims during these tumultuous times.
