"....and Padishah Ismail II issued a firman which limited the right to issue fatwa to the Grand Mufti of Dimitriyye appointed by the caliph himself, excluded Quranic studies from newly adopted public education system, and introduced a new tax on large religious properties including mosques. The firman also contained a passage that claimed Imam Khallouki, a mysterious figure who was believed to have delivered the Islamic faith and Terran medieval culture to the planet, to be "not a prophet, but undertook a similar role", which the Sunni masses interpretated as to be supporting the ideas of Khalloukiyyah, an indigenous heresy of Islam that recognized Imam Khallouki as a prophet. This greatly outraged the religious scholars and lawers empirewide. The imams of Phergistan were the first to take action; they roused the populace, who were already seething with discontent on new taxing system that applied equally to both dhimmis and muslims, into a full fledged revolt. This revolt marked the begining of disintegration of the Occidental Empire."
