original language:  Persian
follows:  Baháʼí Faith

Shiʿism (Persian: شیعه‌گری, romanized: Šiʿigari) or Read and judge (Persian: بخوانند و داوری کنند, romanized: Beḵᵛānand o dāvari konand) is a book written by Ahmad Kasravi that deals with criticisms of Shia Islam. Shiʿism is one of Kasravi's three books criticizing what he calls a bad religion. The book caused a great deal of controversy during Kasravi's lifetime, and even led him to court; But before the legal process could be completed and the verdict was issued, several members of the Fadaiyan-e-Islam, with the fatwa and support of Ruhollah Khomeini and led by Navvab Safavi, stabbed Kasravi to death in court. Shiʿism in his time was one of the first books to deal with the critique of Shia Islam, and following this book, many authors criticized religion in Iran. Kasravi was one of the first thinkers and writers to express views on Shiʿism that are still debated. Source: Wikipedia (en)
