THE BELIEFS OF THE ISLAMIC COUNTRIES TODAY; AND THE BEST OF THEM IN THAT
Indeed Ash Shaam has in it many of the innovated sects just like Egypt does. I searched for the Mu’tazilah in Egypt but I did not find anyone from amongst them.
Indeed before its heresy ‘Iraaq had in it the Ash’ariyyah and Maatureediyyah. Yemen has in it the Ash’ariyyah and the Mu’tazilah, and the Zaidiyyah of Yemen are all Mu’tazilah and the Shaafi’iyyah of Yemen are Ash’aree.
Indeed I made a geography (map) of beliefs in the Islamic world; and I placed Saudi Arabia in the middle. For indeed the kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a Salafi State.
