Anthony H. Cordesman.Saudi Arabia enters the 21st century. — Praeger (April 21, 2003), 2003. — «The tension between Saudi Shi'ite and Wahhabi is especially intense because Saudi "Wahhabis" actively reject all veneration of man, even the prophet. At one point, they attempted to destroy Muhammad's tomb in Medina. In contrast, the Saudi Shi'ites are "Twelvers", a branch of Islam that venerates the Prophet's son-in-law Ali, and believes that the leadership of Islam must pass through Ali's line. They venerate each of the past imams, and make pilgrimages to their tombs.». — ISBN 978-0-275-98091-7.Архивная копия от 18 января 2023 на Wayback Machine
