to start with i'd like to discuss the statement the druze faith began as a movement that deified al hakim bi amr allah considering him a manifestation of god first is this a disputed statement second it lacks an inline ctiation in the current version so if greenecho or anyone else can provide a source that specifically states this it would be much appreciated if others would like to provide counter sources that state that he is not deified by the druze that would be helpful too remember go for quality sources not quantities and explicitly quote a statement from your source that supports your claim talk
