Albany: State University of New York, 1990, 244 pp.	1991.0	4	.pdf	application/pdf	1548	65	55	When he talks about the impact of Sunni groups on the Middle East’s political and social processes, the term “Sunni extremists” is expanded to cover movements in Egypt, Tunisia, Sudan, Syria, Pakistan, Morocco, Algeria, and the Arab Gulf state^.^ Although its importance is exaggerated, the four chapters on Islamic radicalism do offer a rigorous analysis of the divisions between radical Shi'i and Sunni groups, how they independently developed similar assessments of the situation, and why the ecumenistic efforts failed to bring unity or even closeness (taqrib) between the two sects.	cache/ajiss-2614.pdf	txt/ajiss-2614.txt
