Abstract

Intrareligious competition may be founded on grievances stemming from social and political context. The environment that the state creates may fuel intrareligious competition and conflict. Using case studies on Pakistan and Iraq, we examine the role of the state in facilitating intrareligious conflict. We argue the state creates competition for material resources due to institutional characteristics concerning political participation, the education system, and the clergy’s role in government. The state also creates competition for dogmatic resources by legitimizing one sect over another, discriminatory practice, and tacit approval or active involvement in repression of one sect and not the other.
