Thanks for this info. I’ve just started a blog, called zaidism@blogspot.com for any zaidis who would like to share viewpoints or information about zaidism, also for muslim converts like myself who are sick of the bickering between sunnis and 12 imamers. Zaidism is the logical compromise.

I consider this information most informative. Having lived in the Middle East for 21 years I had no idea what Zaidism was. The media and pan-peninsular governments are clearly uninformative in this respect. One could draw parallels with Ismaeli Islam, which appears to be almost unknown in the the Arab world, despite the magnificent effotrs of H.H.the Agha Khan.

to those who would like to know about Zaidism in Yemen; here goes:

I am Zaidi living in one of the most Zaidi Regions in Yemen. This said, trust me the info I give here about Ziadism is true and up-to-date:

A good many (English) writers think that Zaidis in Yemen consititute a minority. This is not the case; they constitute between 40% and 45% of the population. Most of the northern provinces are predominantly Zaidis. These include Sana’a, Dhamar, Ma’rib, Al-Jawf, Amran, and parts of Ibb, Al-Mahweet and Hajjah.

Ever since the eradication fo the Immate, Zaidism has been fought. Guess who has been the ememy of Zaidism all these years? Wahabism has! with their money, they have been doing everything they can to deface and wipe out Zaidism. Despite this, Zaidism is still deeply-rooted in the souls of most Zaidis. What happened during the past year – in Saada – has caused most Zaidis to become more Zaidi than the were.

Feel free to ask an questions, I will be visiting this Blog every now an then.
