LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Sunnis do not rule all Arab nations By Michael Pollack [sic - DH] Financial Times; Jul 27, 2004
From Mr Michael Pollak.
Sir, Schlomo Avineri writes: "If the Sunnis lose monopoly of power . . . this will be a novelty in the Arab world: an Arab country not ruled exclusively by Sunnis." ("The brutal logic that underlies the chaos in Iraq", July 20.)
Note to Prof Avineri: Syria, Israel's next door neighbour, has been ruled by a Shia minority for almost 50 years.
