Sources: http://islamic-forum In recent years we've witnessed a Shi’a revolution that is sweeping through the world. In North Africa, especially in Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco, entire tribes and towns are converting to Shi'a Islam in a surprising and amazing force. Shi'a Islam is growing roots in Egypt, Sudan, Yemen, and even in Saudi Arabia. At the epicenter of Saudi Wahabism, is a city called Qaseem, we are now hearing reports of a massive Shi'a conversion rates among university students in Qaseem. This is causing major alarm and concern in the Wahhabi establishment.

Shi’ism is spreading. In any case, Shi'a Islam is spreading for 2 reasons. Proliferation of Media, and free flow of information. In the past, the media was controlled by the governments. Television, radio, newspapers, books. Whatever the government didn't want it's people to see was forbidden, whatever agenda they wanted their people to believe in was promoted. Today you have the internet, sattelite televisions, mobile phones. All of this made it possible for the Shi'a voice to reach the world population, and the government has no way of stopping this wide spread free flow of information. It is the true religion that Allah (swt) promised to make supreme over all other religions, so whether others likes it or not: Shi'a version pf Islam is here to stay and win the minds and hearts of many people of the world.

The Muslim Affiliation and Whereabouts Most Indo-European people are Hanafi. Afro-Asiatic people usually aren’t Hanafi. The majority of East Africans, The Hui (ethnic Chinese Muslim), and the Malay are Shafi’i. Most Muslims in West Africa are almost Maaliki, (including the Maghrib nations (North Africa), and other places where maghrib/berber/beurette culture has spread). If you look into the numbers, Salafis, a tiny puritanical minority of Sunnis, are found only in Saudi Arabia and a few Gulf states where they are the ruling elites.
