Reasons for the tendency of North African barbarians to the Kharijite political and social approach 1

One of the most influential sects in the early history of Islam is the Kharijites. They suffered severe blows during the Umayyad period and, as their power and influence in the central lands of the caliphate diminished, they moved to more distant lands, such as North Africa.Groups of North Africans embraced the sometimes extremist political ideas of the Kharijites and succeeded in forming government in parts of the region. Examining the process by which this situation took place and the reasons for accepting Kharijite political and social ideas, it was concluded that the Kharijite anti-authoritarian ideas and beliefs were in harmony with the ideals and motives of the Barbarians, and mistreated the Barbarians who prepared them. In order to accept the teachings based on justice and freedom, the uprising against the oppression of the Umayyad governors paved the way for the acceptance of the Kharijite invitation by the Berbers and the development of foreign socio-political ideas in North Africa.
