Abu Tahir Al-Jannabi, The Muslim Who Sacked Mecca
Anthology Of Heroes History - En podkast av Elliot Gates
Kategorier:
Abu Tahir was the leader of a mystical offshoot of mainstream Islam known as 'The Qarmatians'. He created a kind of 'proto-communist' enclave on the Arabian peninsula, and successfully defended it from the Abbasid Caliphate. But soon his hatred of Orthodox Islam would drive him to do something that would cement his place in Islamic history as one of the most despised men to ever have existed.
