Their 12 Imams were either regular muslims they claimed with false quotes, unknown people, or non-existent people "the hidden imam" that drives for Uber and lives in my basement.
Part of their religion is cursing the sahaba to hellfire, despite the fact our faqih they stole, Jaafar rh was descended from Abu Bakr on both sides….. despite fact Ali ra and Hassan and Hussain all name children Uthman, AbuBakr, Umar…. despite fact Ali gave Umar his daughter in marriage.
Their horrible tafsir has resulted in the belief that "imamah" (simply term for leadership) is a higher station than being a prophet. They say that the only prophet who can equal their 12 imams is Muhammad pbuh.
They say the Imams are all knowing, everlasting and infallible.
They say that the Imams were created before Adam and claim they are made of light, not clay. That means they think Ali is some kind of Jinn/Angel and his family are demigods.
There are many other things.
Ibadis are muslims that had a political difference with the others. So are the zaydi shia, and others. But the 12ers used a political difference as an excuse to change the religion.
