- Thawra revolt in Tanger against the Umayyad rulers. The movement is led by a humble water carrier, Maysara, against the decision to levy the same taxes upon the newly converted Muslims and the non-Muslims. Maysara declares himself caliph and rules the city brutally. He is soon replaced by a rival, Khâlid al-Zanâti. The revolt spreads rapidly to the region and the rebellious areas adopt the Kharijite movement of Islam against the Umeyyad Sunnis.[2]
