Imam is a term for an Islamic religious leader. In any country, as long as the person leads the people in worship, He is an Imam.
The article Shia Imams, Sayyid and Imams 80% identical information. They need to be combined into one page because there is currently not enough information for two pages. Otherwise edits to errors in the one will need to be in the other because of the copied information.

[edit] Needs work
This needs work. The following pages and this one should refer to each other and be used to improve each other:

[edit] Categorization
The whole Imams > Cat: Imams> Cat: Shia Imams > Cat: Religious Leaders needs re-thinking.—iFaqeer (Talk to me!) 23:06, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Redirecting Imaum to here?
Imaum currently is an article that basically says that it's a synonym for Imam. Knowing very little about the Muslim faith, I figured I should ask before I redirected here, in case Imaum is actually more than just another spelling of the same word. Flooey 07:03, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] The French are better than us
What do you think of how this look? I thought it was pretty cool (taken from fr).

[edit] Romanisation of Imam names
I'm no expert on Arabic (I barely speak a word), so instead of altering the names of the Imam to correspond to those titled in their individual articles, I've concealed the 'correct' names in the link. - Sasuke Sarutobi 18:18, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] First imam????
i thought the prophet moh. (pbuh) was supposed to be the last of all "prophets"/or a leader in general that is APPOINTED BY GOD?? i don't understand how shiites still name people after the prophet moh. to be "perfect" and appointed from god. honestly with all due respect,but i find this to be a great contradiction to the basics of islam....i dont know of any hadeeths that support this either...but then again i dont want to go into the hadeeth debate, so i'll leave it at that.
[edit] Sunnu Imams section
As an uninformed reader, I have no idea what point this sentence is trying to make: So it is not Imam Bukhari, Imam Muslim,...and so on. Its Sheikh Bukhari and Sheikh Muslim....and so on. Could someone rewrite it? Ashmoo 02:38, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
