		The Rustamid (or Rustumid, Rostemid) dynasty of IbÄá¸Ä« Kharijite imÄms ruled the central Maghreb as a Muslim theocracy for a century and a half from their capital Tahert in present Algeria until the Ismailite Fatimid Caliphs destroyed it.
		The Rustamids fought the Aghlabids of Ifriqiyya (based in Qairawan) in 812, but otherwise reached a modus vivendi; this displeased the IbÄá¸Ä« tribes on the Aghlabid border, who launched a few rebellions.
		After Abdu l-WahhÄb, the Rustamids grew militarily weak; they were easily conquered by the Ismaili Shiite Fatimids in 909, upon which many IbÄá¸iyya - including the last imÄm - fled to the Sedrata tribe of Ouargla, whence they would ultimately emigrate to Mzab.

		Algeria was no exception among the Islamic countries especially that those attempts, either in the Orient or in the Occident, constituted no violation of the principles, instructions and rules of Islam and were no revolution against it or a deviation from its doctrine.
		The Rustamid Dynasty was the first state in the Islamic era in Algeria and its emergence was marked with the constitution of a national authority that is administratively independent from the Islamic central authority.
		It was the strategic location it occupied as the key pass of gold-trading route, between Africa and the Mediterranean Sea, which earned the city its cultural and civilizational prosperity.

		Jews have been present in Algeria at least since late Roman times; the early Arab chroniclers suggest that at least some Berber tribes were converted to Judaism before Islam's arrival, notably that of Queen Kahina.
		Early descriptions of the Rustamid capital Tahert note that Jews were to be found there, as in any other major Muslim city, and some centuries later the Geniza Letters (found in Cairo) mention many Algerian Jewish families.
		However, the country's Jewish community was substantially increased following the Reconquista, when the Spanish Inquisition expelled the Jews from Spain in 1492 [1].

		Five years later another group of Kharijite Berbers seized Tahert in Algeria, founding the Rustamid Emirate.
		The rest of Morocco went next; Idris I, a great-great-grandson of Fatima, fled Arabia, settled in Morocco, and declared himself a Shiite Caliph, not recognizing in any way the authority of Harun al-Rashid, the current Abbasid Caliph (789).

		I think in 705 Arabs conquered Maghrib (region of North Africa bordering the Mediterranean Sea) and this region was part of the Arab empires (Umayyad and Abbasid) for about 50 years and then they were Persians who established the first independent Maghribi empire in 757 and ruled there for at least 150 years.
		The Persian empire was called Rustamid and was found by Abd ar-Rahman son of Rustam son of Bahram (Some says Bahram was the same the great Sassanid commander Bahram Chubin).
		This man has still many followers in the north Africa such as the Mozabites in Algeria.
