AHMAD HASSANI BAGHDADI
(Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Ahmad Hassani Baghdadi )
There are many different schools of thought about Islamic Law just as there are many opnions on any legal system. However, amongst the otherox Muslims there are 5 major schools of Islamic jurispredence--4 are Sunni and 1 Shiite. These 5 all share an intolerance of other religions. The Prophet allolwed Christians, Jews and Zoroasstrians to worship in their religious manner but they had to pay a discriminatory tax. No such provision was made for other religions and some of the modern Muslims try to force them, under penalty of death, to convert to Islam. After the Iranian Revolution for example, members of the Bahai religion were mordered if they would not convert. Many were hunted down and butchered.
