  • شیعیان عمان کلیتی واحد نیستند؛ برخی بلوچ، برخی خوجه، برخی بحرینی و شماری نیز عرب عمانی هستند. در هر کدام از این گروه‌ها شخصیت، هویت و تفکر جمعی خاصی ‌مشاهده می‌شود که همین امر سطوح متفاوتی از ادغام در جامعه میزبان را برای آنها رقم زده است؛ به این معنا که هرگونه تلاشی برای تقریب و نزدیک‌کردن مناسبات شیعیان عمان با دیگر مذاهب در گام اول مستلزم بر تمرکز خود شیعیان برای حذف مانع و چالش‌های موجود بین آنهاست. محدودیت‌های قانونی و ساختاری و استفاده حکومت از آنها برای مقابله با تحرکات و فعالیت‌های جدید، چالشی دیگر در این‌باره است. افزون بر آن هرگونه تلاش برای ساماندهی شیعیان عمان، ممکن است حساسیت حکومت عمان را برانگیزد که روابط حسنه‌ای با جمهوری اسلامی دارد. این پژوهش با استفاده از دو روش مطالعۀ کتابخانه‌ای و مصاحبه با یکی از کارشناسان ارشد مسائل عمان، به بررسی بیشتر جوانب حضور شیعیان در جامعه عمان می‌پردازد و رابطه آنها را با اباضیه بررسی می‌کند که بیشتر جامعه عمان را تشکیل می‌دهند، نظام حکومتی عمان را در اختیار دارند و اشتراک‌های بسیاری نیز با شیعیان دارند. این نوشتار اباضیه عمان را گزینه مناسب تقریب و دارای قابلیت‌های لازم برای دیپلماسی فرهنگی جمهوری اسلامی در نظر می‌گیرد.

We analyzed the history, lifestyle, and characteristics of the tribes and ethnic groups known in this country, where they mainly live. Attention was drawn to the country's special support for religious tolerance and peace in society.  In the methodology of writing the article, methods of analysis-synthesis, deduction, formalization, open electronic sources, works of foreign and domestic scientists who studied this topic were used.

  • In the past few decades, the concept of tolerance has gained a central place in Oman’s political discourse and foreign policy. It is often attributed to the country’s national identity, which in turn is interpreted as deriving from Oman’s Ibadi tradition, the cosmopolitan character of its maritime history and its strategic geographic location. Despite greater attention being paid to the constructive nature of Oman’s identity, including its connection with Ibadism, however, a careful reflection on how the concept of tolerance developed from a religious to a foreign policy principle is still missing. A Discourse-Historical analysis of speeches directed towards a domestic and international audience highlights how the political discourse on tolerance, by reinforcing identity-engineering efforts, supported the Omani government’s legitimation and status-seeking purposes at home and abroad.
