Kawader Islamic Movement:1991-2003 A Thought Historical Study

Abstract

      At the beginning of the second half of the twentieth century, the Shiite community witnessed the birth of Shiite political Islam with its internationalist ideas and doctrinal proposals. During the 1960s and 1970s, the Shiite Islamic movements contributed to its resurgence in Arab Shiite societies and others. However, the decade of the 1980s and the dramatic transformations that accompanied it at the global level, starting from the rise of Islam as a political, human and civilizational force, until the collapse of the socialist experiment, presented intellectual challenges to the Shiite Islamic movement. After profound reviews of the system of Islamic political thought to determine the priorities of Islamic action on the political and social levels, the idea of establishing "Kawader Islamic ( cadres) Movement" emerged with its civilized Islamic discourse mixed with the achievements of modern political thought, and its political activity that is closest to realism - according to its justifications - in Islamic political work. That was obvious due to its call to adopt the democratic option and to emphasize Iraqi specificity in political action and to address its political reality in light of the international equation.
