@niloufar_saremolmolk: بنیان گذار حوزه علمیه قم و مراسم اسلامی شیعه مانند محرم ماه صفر تاسوعا عاشورا و ...فقط برای پایداری استعمار و استحکام امپراطوری انگلستان در خاور میانه و جلوگیری از کمونیست روسیه. Lord George Nathaniel Curzon viewed Shia Islam in Qajar-era Persia through a strict British imperial lens, documenting its social and political impact in his 1892 treatise Persia and the Persian Question. He analyzed Shia clergy and religious rituals not out of theological interest, but as significant political forces shaping Iranian nationalism, public sentiment, and resistance to foreign influence. His Observations on Shia Islam👇 • Clerical Power: Curzon recognized the independent financial and social clout of the Iranian ulama (Shia clergy), noting their capacity to sway the masses against both the Qajar monarchy and European concessions. • Public Rituals: He documented prominent religious ceremonies, including Muharram mourning assemblies and passion plays (ta'ziyeh), observing how communal grief reinforced a distinct Shia identity separate from the Sunni Ottoman Empire. • Political Threat: As a strategist focused on India's defense, Curzon worried that religious fervor combined with Persian instability could invite Russian encroachment or spark anti-British religious mobilization. #georgenathanielcurzon #islamiccolonialism #BritishIslamicColonialism
