POLI 369 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Mahdist War, Social System
Document Summary
Borders of the ottoman empire was marked in a way so iranians have no way to navigate, it was only a position of the ottomans. It was an empire that was also motivated by the belief that islam should be carried out to the rest of the world as a civilized mission. Autonomous provinces: divided all the possessions in the middle east called. A city was a wilayet on its own. The legal system was inherited from the ottoman. First of all all these were agriculture countries. Muslim society under the ottam produced 3 kinds of elites in each province: economic : the wealth lead in the hands of farmers, owners etc. The emprie is not going to intervene how the christians and jews get married. When they die, how is their wealth distributed. This is not our job as a community, not the job for muslims to determine.
