Ever since reading The Venture of Islam as a kid, I’ve also wondered about the lack of scholarly interest in the Harran neoplatonists and their kin. You’d think that genocide would have advanced the discussion of the Yazidi beyond where crypto-thelemite William Seabrook left it, in the ‘20s. As for the position of Shi’ism in the cultic milieu…there seem to be multiple threads leading back to at least the 19th century. In the Eastern Mediterranean’s Great Game, the Russians sponsored Orthodox Christians, the French the Uniate Maronite Church, and the English the Druze. This went as far as supporting a Druze ethnostate in the French Mandates in the interwar period. The dynastic principle in Shi’ism also appealed to a romantic monarchist strain in the West, not to mention the persecution narratives at the heart of our various nationalisms. This could explain why the Aga Khans and Idries Shah made such a clean transition into London’s high society. At one level, there’s a benign pantheism not much different from Cardinal Newman’s, and at another, the shadow of Alamawt. Marshall Hodgson called Hassan i Sabbah “the first totalitarian ideologue,” in his master’s thesis.
