The Fatimite successes in the Mediterranean gave them a substantial basis of political power, and doubtless this outward and material success was more important to them than their claim to both a physical and mythical descent from the founder of their religion.
The joyful news was sent to the Fatimite Caliph on swift dromedaries, together with the heads of the slain. For two centuries the mosques and the mint proclaimed the shibboleth of the Shiahs.
