#1 As followers of the Aga Khan, they are "7er Shi'ites," meaning that they think there were seven infallible Imams, rather than the 12 positited by mainstream Shiism. Today the Aga Khan is quite Westernized and moderate. In the 12th century, the same group was called the "assasins," and terrorized the Sunni world of the Seljuks with, well, lots of assasinations.
