— Ten percent of Muslims worldwide follow Shi’a Islam. Ten percent of Shi’as are “Twelvers” and believe in the 12 Imams who are the bloodline of Prophet Mohamed. They believe that Ali who was Prophet Mohamed’s cousin and son-in-law (and the other Imams) should have followed the Prophet as leader of the Muslim community.
