What the hell? Wikipedia isn't supposed to display religious texts and political manifestos. This stuff should be exhibited on someone's blog rather than pasted all over an article. Why is there so much emotive text here and why is this article so long? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.96.173.94 (talk) 21:06, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ditto. What the hell? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.225.88.70 (talk) 00:22, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]


The crushing of the Akhbaris? What is your source to claim a "crushing"? You mean they were intellectually crushed because of the weakness of their postulates. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.82.247.129 (talk) 09:33, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Physical Challenge[edit]

In the current article it says:

"The dominance of the Usuli over the Akhbari came in last half of the 18th century when Muhammad Baqir Behbahani led Usulis to mainly physically challenge Akhbari dominance and "completely routed the Akhbaris at Karbala and Najaf," so that "only a handful of Shi'i ulama have remained Akhbari to the present day."[1]"

However, the claim of physical challenge is not supported by the source provided:

"At first, the Akhbaris predominated at the shrine cities Iraq bu it was Bihbahani who, at the end of the 18th century, reversed this and indeed completely routed the Akhbaris at Karbala and Najaf. South Iraq, Bahrain and a few cities in Iran such as Kirman remaned akhbari strongholds for a few more decades but eventually the Usuli triumph was complete and only a handful of Shi'i ulama have remained Akhbari to the present day."--Kazemita1 (talk) 16:02, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

UsuliUsulism – We should opt for the title with the suffix "-ism" since the article is about the school of thought and not about its adherents as a group of people. Consistent with Islam-related schools such as Shaykhism, Ash'arism, Atharism, Mu'tazilism, Maturidism and others. Leithiani (talk) 18:15, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
