Ibadhi Muslims are also found in East Africa (especially Zanzibar), Libya (in Jabal Nafusa), Algeria (in the Mzab), and Djerba Island in Tunisia.
The early medieval Rustamid dynasty in Algeria was Ibadhi, and refugees from its capital Tahert founded the North African Ibadhi communities which exist today.

 A Short History of Al-Ibadhiyah   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
But when the Kharijites withdrew from the Muslim community on the basis that their land was a land of war and they were all polytheists, Ibn Ibadh appeared as a leading figure who opposed this extreme line and refuted it openly.
The property of Muslims should not be taken as spoils and their women and children should not be killed or taken in captivity.
The development of the Ibadhi doctrine, the growth of their organization, and the rapid expansion of their movement in Yemen, Oman, Khurasan and North Africa is undoubtedly due to Abu 'Ubaidah, as he led the Ibadhi movement during the last period of the 'Umayyad rule and the beginning of the 'Abbasid rule.

It is reported that he shunned an Ibadhi member for giving his daughter for marriage to a non-Ibadhi Muslim, and was very angry about it.
According to his student, Abu al-Mu'arrij, "Abu 'Ubaidah disliked the marriage of an Ibadhi woman to a non-Ibadhi Muslim, although it was lawful, out of fear that he may confuse her and change her beliefs.
In Basrah, the Ibadhi organisation with the leadership of Abu 'Ubaidah and the council of the Shaikhs, carried out the responsibility of forming the policy of the movement and preparing learned men for missionary work to be sent all over the Muslim countries to propagate the Ibadhi doctrine.

 Oman (02/05)
During this period, political leadership shifted from the Ibadhi imams, who were elected religious leaders, to hereditary sultans who established their capital in Muscat.
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the sultan in Muscat faced rebellion by members of the Ibadhi sect residing in the interior of Oman, centered around the town of Nizwa, who wanted to be ruled exclusively by their religious leader, the Imam of Oman.
This conflict was resolved temporarily by the Treaty of Seeb in 1920, which granted the imam autonomous rule in the interior, while recognizing the sovereignty of the sultan elsewhere.

Today's Oman is internally stable, economically prosperous, and established as a nation integral to foreign relations in the Middle East and the world.
Qaboos's pragmatic, independent approach in bringing Oman to this point owes much to the Ibadhi interpretation of Islam practiced there.
This would give the impression that the Ibadhi Muslim Omanis are not radical fundamentalists like the Wahhabi Muslim Saudis.
