The study focuses on the recent rise in importance of the Shia branch of Islam. Ever since the success of the Iranian revolution, the Teheran regime has persistently claimed to be protector and promoter of the Shia interests outside its borders. Many Sunni rulers in the Middle East fear that the rising position of the Shia and Iran, in particular through its nuclear programme, will alter the traditional balance of power not only in the Gulf region but throughout the Arab world. The study introduces the term “the Shia crescent,” which has become a commonly used expression in popular, intellectual and political debates. As a geo-political term, it is used to describe a region of the Middle East where the majority population is Shia, or where there is a strong Shia minority in the population. The aim of this article is to examine critically the notion of the Shia crescent and suggest possible explanations on what is behind the rise of Shia power, how to account for it, and what are its consequences for the current system of international relations.Full text: http://bazhum.muzhp.pl/czasopismo/589/?idno=14763

The infiltration of Shiism and subsequent increasing growth of the Shia community in Sunni dominated northern Nigeria, especially from the 1980s to date (2015), have generated ideological tension and anxiety. The introduction of the Shia into northern Nigeria has challenged Sunni ideological dominance and ascendancy. The Shia ulama (scholars) clandestinely converted thousands of Sunnis into the new religious group. The Sunni ulama responded to the penetration and emerging Shia community through a myriad of ways in order to arrest what they perceive as a diffusion of antithetical ideology. The responses came in the form of public condemnation, invective songs, theological debates, and literary antiphon. The main thrust of all of these responses is the condemnation of Shia ideology, rituals and practices, especially the ones that oppose Sunni ideological beliefs. One of the major consequences of these responses is the emergence of literature in different languages, namely: Arabic, English and Hausa. However, there is an apparent lack of academic attention to this body of literature in spite of its relevance to understanding Sunni-Shia relations and theological contestations in northern Nigeria. This paper analyses some selected Hausa and English Sunni-reactive literature and assesses its attempt to challenge the spread of Shia ideology in northern Nigeria.

Turkey and Iran as the two neighbouring countries can be described as relatively comparable with regard to the geographical, demographic and socio-economic dimension. Yet, next to the numerous similarities and levels, on which they can be assessed as comparable states, there are also multiple significant differences and dissimilarities between these two countries. These factors, both similarities and differences, account for the nature of relations between Turkey and Iran, which can be briefly described as characterised by great dynamics. The aim of the paper is to provide for the historical background of Turkish-Iranian relations, outline most important issues affecting these relations and attempt to draw conclusions on the basis of the historical and current trends in these mutual relations to forecast the possible continuation of cooperation between the two states in question as well as the nature of the future of Turkish-Iranian relations.

Turcja i Iran, jako dwa sąsiednie kraje, są stosunkowo porównywalne, jeżeli chodzi o wymiar geograficzny, demograficzny i społeczno-gospodarczy. Tym niemniej, obok licznych podobieństw i poziomów, na których można je oceniać, istnieje między nimi również wiele istotnych różnic i rozbieżności. Czynniki te, zarówno podobieństwa, jak i różnice, składają się na charakter relacji między Turcją a Iranem, które można określić jako dynamiczne. Celem artykułu jest ukazanie historycznego tła stosunków turecko-irańskich, nakreślenie najważniejszych kwestii wpływających na te stosunki oraz próba wyciągnięcia wniosków na podstawie historycznych i bieżących trendów w tych wzajemnych stosunkach w celu dokonania prognozy możliwej kontynuacji współpracy dwu omawianych państw, jak również charakteru przyszłości stosunków turecko-irańskich.

The aim of the study The rise of Islam in the Balkans-the Bektashi Order was to map the development of this religion in this region. This study explains at the beginning the basic principles of Islam, its spread in the Balkan region with an important focus on the efforts of Albanians not to submit to the Ottoman Empire, and informs why Albanians decided to accept Islam through different orders, but mainly through the Bektashi Order that is still very influential in Albania. My initial effort was to present the most accurate knowledge of this order and their teachings, their customs, hierarchy and history in the territory where the Albanian population lived and lives.
