re: #28 SanFranciscoZionist

That’s my question. It’s really not clear to me how central this belief is to Muslim theology, how universal it is, and whether there’s a recent rise of interest in it. Did Mohammed ever mention a twelfth imam? Would Ahmedinejad’s grandmother have recognized this as a core belief?

Does anyone have a book to recommend that wasn’t written by a crazy person?

It’s a Shite belief, not found among Sunnis.
