Abstract
Sunnis and Shi'is have fought each other in the streets of Baghdad and burned down each other's quarters since the early decades of the fourth century Hijri (tenth century CE.).1 Intercommunal fighting, often labeled by chroniclers as fitna (civil strife), reached a peak between the years 972 and 974. In 972, fighting broke out between Sunnis and Shi'is when the inhabitants of Baghdad were preparing for a military expedition (ghazwa) against the Byzantines.2 In the course of the fitna, the Sunnis burned down a large number of houses in the quarter of Karkh. A year later, in 973, the Sunni wazir, Abu al-Fadl al-Shirazi, who was known as a Sunni zealot, sent people once more to torch the Karkh quarter. According to Ibn al-Kathir, the damage was enormous: many houses in the Karkh quarter were burned down 300 shops and 33 mosques and 17,000 people were hurt.3 Though the wazir paid for this incitement with his position, the tensions remained and fighting between Sunnis and Shi'is erupted again in the following year.4 KeywordsCommunal ViolenceNinth CenturyFourth CenturyIslamic WorldEighth CenturyThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
