Baghdad Manifesto
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The manifesto of Baghdad is the testimony given by a number of Muslim Sunni and "Twelvers" Shiite genealogists and law scholars known all across the Islamic world in 402/1011, doubting the Sacred Mohammedan-‘Alid lineage of the Fatimids, they were declared to be descended from a Jew by the name of Ibn al-qaddah, A Munafiq, which meant that the Fàtimid Dynasty were traced back to an infidel, an enemy of the faith, instead of the noble and venerable "Âalulbayt"(Family of the prophet) which was the basic Justification of the Sanctity of The Fàtimid rulers in the Ismaali doctrine, and the Primal reason for the world wide Dawa (Ismaili propaganda) Success. The statement that was ordered by The Abbasid Caliph Al-Qàdir to stop the spread of Ismailism within the very seat of his realm was long debated; among those who signed it were Ibn Razzam and Ibn Nadim.
