Little is known in the West about the division of the Islamic world into Shiites and Sunnites and even less about the stratification of these two groups. Moosa's comprehensive study of the origins and cultural aspects of the different extremist, or Ghulat, Shiite sects in the Middle East is a ground-breaking work.
