Jeruselem

Under a religious reform under Queen Mariah I of Jeruselem allowed Mandean Sabians to return to Holy Lands provided they "behaved themselves". For a while, the Mandean Sabians did not stir up trouble with local Christians as they believed Jesus was an agent of Satan.
Lately, the Mandean Sabian leader (Joseph Chrusat) has been more active in recruitment but was making no headway against Christianity, Judism and Islamic. As of late Mandeans have been protesting loudly outside Churches and Mosques about being ignored.
This was tolerated until some radical Mandeans attacked the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem after he told them to stop their inconsequential protests. A few days later, local official reported Churches being set on fire by Mandean protesters.
Mandean Sabian leader was summoned and told to stop his followers from making more violent actions, but he said "God wills our actions". Some Mandeans claim the violence is actions of a small minority of radicals who simply want more attention to their religion and their leader is out of line.
The Queen has given Mandeans a month to stop their violent actions or be evicted like they were at the time of Christ again. Experts say an internal power struggle for the Mandean leadership is critical to the outcome. The moderate leader Hassan Rabat is expected to feature in the struggle.
