Abstract
The view of Sunnī scholars about minorities and sects in the medieval Muslim world has a crucial influence on their actual image in the Middle East. While Šīʿīsm is considered a fifth school (maḏhab ) in Islam today, Sunni authorities have never accepted such sects as Bahāʾīs, Druzes and Nuṣayrī-ʿAlawīs as part of Islam. This rejection of what Sunnīs consider as heretical sects contributed to their persecution and isolation, which lasted until the twentieth century.
