Europe should instead push for new constitutional and institutional solutions that ensure the Shia a legitimate role in the political arrangements of Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and the Gulf states – all places where they now regard themselves as third-class citizens. Giving the Shia a real stake in the nations in which they live is the only way to satisfy the craving for empowerment that they feel after so many years of suppression.
相反，欧洲应当推动新的、确保什叶派在黎巴嫩、沙特以及海湾国家政治安排中的合法作用的宪法和机制方案。在所有这些地方，什叶派自认为是三等公民。赋予什叶派在其居住国家实际的相关利害是满足其在多年遭受迫害所感觉到的对于赋予权利的渴望的唯一途径。
