[edit] Safavid heresy

This phrase was at the end of the article: "The Mahdist heresies entrenched even private Shia beliefs in Iran that would persist until the sixteenth century when the Safavid heresy became fully pronounced.". It is unclear what the author refers to here. The Mahdist belief has been with the Shia before the Savafids, and still exists today, in Iran and elsewhere. It is not clear what was there to be supplanted, nor what s/he refers by Safavid heresy. Therefore, I am taking this section out till further clarification and references are provided. Note: I am not Shia myself. -- KB 01:45, 2004 Sep 19 (UTC)

I'm born a Shia, but I don't understand the sentence either. roozbeh 12:43, Sep 19, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Suggesting new name for this article

I think this article should be moved to Abu Muslim Khorasani. That his most common name used in literature. Please let me know if you agree or disagree. --Behnam 07:57, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I agree. I think Abu Muslim Khorasani is more common name.Ariana310 20:24, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Khurasan vs. Khorasan

The article uses both terms. I assume they are the same, just using different transliterations. If nobody corrects me, I'm going to change everything to the Khorasan version in the near future. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 17:38, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

yes, they are the same. --Pejman47 (talk) 18:42, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Ok, fixed. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 21:28, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
