Karen Armstrong has written some wonderful books. I have read A History of God and The Battle for God, and parts of Holy War. All very illuminating.

The Battle for God talks alot about the social justice elements of the Shia and how alot of the opposition to the west is rooted in the fact that rather than enhancing the "social justice" sought by the masses, the western democracies were behind a great deal of exploitative behaviors and supported very oppressive regimes. We need wonder no further as to the cause behind their distrust of "democratic institutions, western style".
