And well under one tenth of one percent would recall that the Shi'is can be "twelvers", "seveners" (Ismailis)or "fivers". When you talk about Iraqi or Iranian Shi'is, you are really talking about the "twelvers", not just any Shi'is. They all differ about who exactly were the legitimate Imams.

There are 4ers too.

I'd only heard about 12 imams, and something about brothers or uncles or something...

I'm not all that knowledgable about it, but, depressingly, i'm better then the majority of Australians.
