Abstract
Sunni-Shi‘i relations are more complex in the aftermath of the 2003 American invasion to Iraq than at any other time in modern history, revealing certain paradoxes and contradictions. In Sunni countries, two major phenomena have become increasingly evident. The first is the growing divide between the political elites and the masses, and the second is the discord among Sunni Islamist movements.
