Abstract
What techniques has the Syrian state under Bashar al-Assad used to control the possibility of opposition from Syria's Islamic sphere? Addressing this question, the authors of State and Islam in Baathist Syria explore the troubled relations between the regime and the remnants of the Muslim Brotherhood after the 1982 repression, consider the impact of the proliferation of Islamic charities and schools, and examine the discourses of the Damascus 'ulama during the current uprising.
