Maghrib
Traduction non disponible · Original (anglais) · français indisponible
Kharidjism in the Maghrib was a dissident Islamic movement that opposed Umayyad authority and emphasized equality among Muslims regardless of race, color, or origin. Sufrite and Ibadite propagandists established western and eastern spheres of influence around Kayrawan, combining clandestine organization with open revolt. Their doctrines gained support amid Berber grievances over taxation, political inequality, and military rewards.

Le récit
Kharidjism reached the Maghrib through propagandists who moved westward around 714. The movement was not presented simply as an ethnic reaction, but as a religious and political challenge to Umayyad rule. Its central principle was the equality of Muslims and the legitimacy of an elected imam without distinction of race, color, or country.
Two currents became especially important in the Maghrib: the Sufrites and the Ibadites. Their areas of influence were described in relation to Kayrawan, with Sufrite activity concentrated to the west and Ibadite activity to the east. Their strategy combined clandestine action under tactical dissimulation with open insurrection when conditions were judged favorable.
The doctrine appealed to Berber communities because it condemned Umayyad domination, unequal taxation, and the exclusion of non-Arab converts from full participation in the Islamic community. Kharidjite centers appeared in regions including the Djabal Nafusa south of Tripoli, and both Berbers and Arabs participated in attacks on Umayyad administration. This ideological environment helped prepare the revolt that began in the western Maghrib in 741.
