"Ismailis are not free to pass their religious teachings on to new
generations. The authorities have at times exiled the Absolute Guide

ban the import or production of Ismaili religious literature. Ismailis

existing ones, whereas the state funds and builds Sunni mosques in
Najran, even in areas without a Sunni population."
