"The Battle of Karbala' still rages between the two sides in the present and in the future. It is being held within the soul, at home and in all areas of life and society. People will remain divided and they are either in the Hussain camp or in the Yazid camp. So choose your camp." — 'Ashura' banner in Manama, 2006

Questioning Sectarianism in Bahrain and Beyond
For those interested, Jadaliyya has posted an interview conducted with me a while back on the topic of sectarianism in the Gulf region and prompted by my contribution to a forthcoming volume on the subject organized by the CIRS at Georgetown University - Qatar. (CIRS has a summary report, which I've previously posted, here. Incidentally, I notice that CIRS has also posted a summary report for another interesting book project titled "The Evolving Ruling Bargain in the Middle East.")
The interview deals not only with my book chapter but also some more personal topics -- how I got started in the Gulf, my secret links to the U.S. government and/or Iran, etc. etc.
