Basra - The Islamic Cities (sitios de interés)

Descripción del sitio

This city is thought to be the birthplace of the Ibadi sect of Islam which later flourished in Oman. In 684AD, the movement was started by Ibn Ibâd from whom it was named after, in Basra. The geographical proximity to Baghdad made it impossible for the Ibadi sect to grow until some prominent leaders escaped further south.(Ghubash, Hussein. Oman: the Islamic democratic tradition p.24)
