Incomplete - What about the madness???

Something should be said about the theory that he suffered from madness near the end of his life. One could also mention the beliefs of the Druze people.

I have never heard of the theory that he suffered from madness. In fact, the article is biased and does not give the perspective of the Druze.

Another Perspective

Many believe that Hakim was not actually mad, but that everything he did served a specific purpose. The fact that the article percieves him as mad shows a lot of bias. Many believe that his actions were to turn people back to God and away from other objects of worship. More should be looked into this matter. Also anything said about the beliefs of the Druze should not be taken literally since the religion is so secretive. The Druze did not worship Hakim, they worshipped God. Furthermore, when Hakim disappeared he did not reappear in Lebanon as the article claims. There is very little evidence concerning Al-Hakim and the sources that this page uses are also full of speculation. I have not really found any consistent information concerning Al-Hakim.

I agree with what the other gentleman said in "another perspective" about the Eccentricities heading. It seems that Al Hakim made laws to make people more religious: to not eat grapes is because of the possibility of alcohol when people are lenient. Fish without scales are not kosher/halal. In regards to chess, many Islamic scholars (like Christian and Jewish scholars like Maimonides) considered it a waste of time. Al-Hakim was not so crazy, some of these rulings had points.
