| | Restatement of History of Islam and Muslims |
 | | Muawiya was neither the heir of Uthman nor he was the head of the government of the Muslims. | | | Muawiya and his successors, being, unrepentant pagans in all but name (save only for one sincere Muslim, the Caliph Umar II), they went to the limits of discretion in flouting Islam by indulging in the worst abominations of civilization. | | | Muawiya adopted a policy of religious tolerance vis-à-vis the Christians in Syria, and he carefully and skillfully cultivated the Syrians so that he became very popular with them. |

| | Muawiya and his father are considered to be among those enemies who were reconciled to Islam through gifts. | | | To solve this problem, Muawiya made use of Byzantine administrative structures, the key positions of which were held by Christians who in some cases came from families that had served the Byzantine government. | | | Upon the death of Muawiya II (683-684), civil war broke out between two Arab factions, the Qaysites and the Kalbites, the latter of whom supported the candidacy of Marwan b. |

| | Mu'awiya could be seen speaking to the people on the minbar of Damascus wearing a patched garment. | | | So what was it about Mu'awiya which made his rule so successful to such an extent that the famous historian, adh-Dhahabi, points out that after al-Hasan had surrendered his claim to the khalifate, "Mu'awiya reigned without a rival, and without losing any of the conquests of Islam. | | | The role of Mu'awiya is interesting in modern terms because the rule of Mu'awiya and his immediate successors involves bringing disparate elements into a single unity - as there were really three power bases for a time: Syria and the Umayyads, Iraq where 'Ali based himself, and the Hijaz as represented by Ibn az-Zubayr. |

| | At first Hassan disputed Muawiya's claim to leadership, but he finally compromised, and this reference can only be directed at Iraq's Shi'ites, who are the descendants of those who wanted Mohammed's family, starting with Ali, to lead Muslims, asking them to compromise and let Muawiya's descendants, the Sunnis, maintain power. | | | Be like Hassan so we will be strong." Then it seems Sheikh Hussein will skip Hassan's brother, Hussein, who chose to dispute the claim of Muawiya's family after Muawiya and Hassan both died and Yazid, Muawiya's son, was appointed caliph. | | | The divide between Hussein and Yazid split the Muslim world into Sunnis and Shi'ites and centuries of fitna, or strife, between the two communities, with Shi'ites revering Hussein and hating Hazid while Muawiya and the Sunnis defended them while disparaging Hussein and his followers. |
