Houthis follow Zaydi political theology of armed resistance by Prophetic descendants against Muslim oppressors. But the loophole in the current movement is that they do not have a unifying moderate leader. Iran is based on a political theology of apolitical psychological resistance to Muslim oppressors but a Prophetic descendant Syed Khomeini brought Twelvers closer to Zaydi political theology. A Pakistani Prophetic descendant Syed Mawdudi taught a political theology of democratic resistance against Muslim oppressors, but lack of charismatic leaders of spiritual democratic resistance after Banna and Mawdudi makes young zealots succumb to seduction of armed resistance.
