Milani discusses echoes of the Iranian revolution in Egypt
Abbas Milani, a research fellow and codirector of the Iran Democracy Project at the Hoover Institution and the Christina Moghadam Director of Iranian Studies at Stanford University, compares the upheaval in Egypt to the Iranian revolution of 31 years ago rather than to Tunisia’s Jasmine Revolution that toppled Ben Ali less than 31 days ago. Milani explains that Iran and Egypt are very similar and that what happens in both places has shaped what happens in the Middle East for a hundred years. Milani notes that Egypt is the most important center of Sunni learning and that Iran is the most important center of Shia learning. The two countries, he says, have been very much in competition with each other for hegemony over the Islamic world.
