How about Ahmadism or some variation thereof, as was suggested here:

Sounds good to me.

Perhaps that is something that we could develop?

In that case, would it be ok rule-wise to call the entire religion Ahmadiyya (أحمدية‎)? Although Ahmadiyya is the name of a RL religious group, it is derived from Arabic name Ahmad, i.e. Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the group's founder. Apart from the name (which is after all derived from a quite common Arabic first name), there is little else the two Ahmadiyyas would have in common.

So if this gets okayed by Moderation, there should be a wiki page for the entire religion, apart from the wikis for the two branches.

SOOO for sake of simplicity?

Islam = Ahmadism (in Arabic/Majatran = Ahmadiyya (أحمدية‎))
Muslim = Ahmadites
Sunni = Queranzariah
Shi'a = Abadi

Also, I like the change. It suits it well.

Yep, this is accurate.

Here's the (far from completed) wiki page: http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Ahmadism. For the history section, I just copied what Emunim wrote in this thread, just replacing "Islam" with "Ahmadism". I am not entirely sure about the symbol, as it is a calligraphic representation of the word "Allah" and not "Akim".

Ok, so this has been bugging me for some time now. The word "Queranzariah" doesn't work with Arabic or Jelbic, so it definitely needs to be changed; the reason that hasn't happened yet I think is that the word was often used after the religon retcon as a synonym for Islam. But now that "Ahmadism" and related words have taken that role, we should find a replacement.

What I was thinking is calling it the equivalent of "monotheism" in those languages, so basically Isràía or Tawhidiyya, Anglicized as Israism (adj. isràsrlji = Israist). This would make sense as a result of this branch's opposition to Abadi worship of the Holy Spirits, which would be seen as dangerously close to shirk (polytheism).

Any thoughts on that?

Shouldn't the Particracy universe have an equivalent of Quranism?

Following approval from LNRulez, Queranzariah was renamed as Israism.

I don't think that would really be necessary, as nothing of that kind has shown up in RP, to my knowledge. We needn't carbon-copy RL religions anyway. But if you feel that that would be a reasonable addition to the game, feel free to create it yourself.
