it's an awkward history
i know some of it but go ahead because theres definitely a lot i dont know
so back when muhammad was alive
there weren't shia, sunni and other groups
after some wars and conquests
spreading islam
muhammed died
and the rashid caliphate began
Abu Bakir ruled first as muhammed assigned him
2nd caliphate was Omar ibn Alkhattab
3rd one was Othman bin Affan
and the 4th and last one was Ali bin abi Taleb ( muhammed's cousin)
muslim confirmed
and back during the Rashid caliphate they assigned the caliph with a council that choose them
however there was 1 count that really wanted the caliphate, Muawiyyah I which overthrew Ali and tricked him
the Shia are the group that believe that Ali was still the Legitimate caliph
while Sunnis followed Muawiyyah
the event was also known as the 1st Fitna
which is a series of a few battles and an arbitration where Ali was basically robbed from his caliphate.
thank you
most schools of thought in islam happened because of incidents like that
where they argued about who should be the caliphate
where did wahhabism come from
or however its spelled
wahhabism was a group of sunnis that followed Muhammed bin Abd Alwahhab during the 18th century
which was a religious sheikh that researched the religion
**ThreeOfOne#5966** just left the server.
he advocated violent methods and false? (at least in my opinion) interpertations of the Quran
i guess you could say they're an ethnic nationalist ultra conservative Muslims. @Maddie
vaguely put.
yeah i figured a s much
they seem to be the most dangerous group
well
the most radical are always the most dangerous
muslim or not.

i meant of muslims
