Your Ali Revision Hi Zora I thought about your latest revision on Ali regarding the events that occurred shortly after Muhammad s death and concluded that it is a vast improvement over the past versions For one it is far more preciseit is far from clear upon Muhammad s death that Ali s followers thought Ali SHOULD succeed What is more clear is that once Abu Bark assumed the caliphate position his followers did think that if anyone Ali should have been the successor Excellent work I m just going to do a very small revision clarifying that it was not only Ali s friends and followers but many other Muslims who thought Ali should have succeeded Don t want to give Shi a zealots another excuse to raise hell
