• W2039900433 abstract "The Lebanese Druze are well known for their solidarity despite the fact that for centuries they have suffered deep internal divisions. It is generally believed, although not systematically researched, that their particular social and religious structures have been a major factor in preserving their unity and distinctive way of life at a time when deep and rapid changes are sweeping the area.' However, these two structures are apparently not strong enough to end the internal division which more than once has made the community vulnerable to outside pressures. Animosity remains between the two major factions the Yazbakis, who today are represented by the princely Arslan family, and the Junblatis led by Walid Junblat. In other Muslim societies religious figures intervene successfully to reconcile quarreling individuals or groups, but for various reasons this has been ineffective in healing the long-term rift between the two Druze families. The political consequences of this division are as serious for this small and vigorous community in post-war Lebanon as they ever were. There are signs that the tightly-knit Druze community of the civil war years, may again divide its loyalties between the rival clan leaders as important yet contentious community issues arise. Paradoxically, one such issue concerns the very symbol of Druze solidarity and fraternity their spiritual leader, the Shaykh al-'Aql. Shaykh al-'Aql Muhammad Abu-Shaqra's appointment of a shaykh to replace him temporarily the day before he died in October 1991 ignited a full-blown controversy which swept the community. Curiously, the issue appeared more political than religious since customary selection procedures, which involved the prerogatives of both political leaders, had apparently been waived. But even the ascetic and revered Abu Hassan Arif al-Halawi, one of the few holy men fully initiated into the Druze faith, was troubled by the Shaykh's initiative, feeling that he too should have been consulted. Moreover, Walid Junblat and Talal Arslan immediately squared off on the merits of the man who was tapped and the reasons behind his selection. The issues raised suggest the importance of the Shaykh al-'Aql in the Druze political equation, and seem to belie the peacekeeping function ordinarily linked with Druze spiritual leadership. Using this controversy as a point of departure, this study investigates the roles of the Druze" @default.
