Correction of religion of historical Zirid characters

[Jeltz]

When starting as Tamim ibn al-Muizz of the Zirid dynasty I noticed that all my ancestors were Sunni. This is incorrect since the cause of the hardships of the Zirid dynasty was al-Muizz denouncing Shia and breaking with the Fatimids. Not sure exactly when the dynasty first started to be Shiite, but everyone since either Manad or Ziri should be shiites (I mark them both as Shiites but do however you like with Manad). Note that Hammad of the Hammadid cadet branch of the Zirids also converted to Sunni so his religion is correct.

Links to Wikipedia (I know it is not the best source but at least the conversion from Shia to Sunni seems non-controversial):

* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Muizz_ibn_Badis (the ruler who converted the Zirids from Shia to Sunni)
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammad_ibn_Buluggin (The first Hammadid, who also converted to Sunni)

Another question: Are you interested in adding more Wikipedia links to characters? If so I note that most or all Zirirds lack Wikipedia links though all but Manad seem to have articles. I could compose a CSV with those links if Paradox is interested in such.

EDIT: Accidentally changed al-Muizz to Shiite. Fixed now.

 

[Sleight of Hand]

Good work. We definitely need more people who know about Muslim characters.

Ok, will post a CSV with wiki links to Maghreb rulers in a couple of days in a new thread for that purpose then.
