Al-Ḥasan ibn ʻAlī al-Barbahārī was a Sunni Islamic theologian from Iraq. His books are peppered with stinging remarks that place the Shias Qadaris Mu’tazilis and Ash’aris in an extremely negative light. He was responsible for a number of invasive pogroms and incidences of sectarian violence in 10th century Baghdad. Princeton University scholar of Islamic history Michael Cook has described al-Barbahari as a manifest demagogue.
