Shiite Migration

While Shiism is widespread in the Islamic world, most Shiites live in lands ruled by Sunni or even non-muslim states. In order to survive, our brothers of faith often have to adopt a policy of Taqiyya, deliberately pretending to distance themselves from the Shia faith. As one of few Shia our nations we have come to attract members of faith who no longer want to live out their spiritual lives in secrecy. Many of them are both learned and productive members of society.
