Mandaeism (or Mandaeanism or Sabianism) is a term for the religion of the Mandaeans, who consider [[Adam]], [[Noah]] and [[John the Baptist]] as their prophets (but not [[Abraham]], [[Moses]] or [[Jesus]]). Mandaeism is a monotheistic religion with a strongly dualistic worldview, practiced primarily in southern [[Iraq]] and the [[Iran]]ian province of [[Khuzestan]], as well as among a small diaspora population in [[Europe]], [[Australia]], and [[North America]]. The exact number of Mandaeans worldwide is unknown, but probably around 50,000. The Mandaeans have remained separate and intensely private — what has been reported of them and their religion has come primarily from outsiders. They speak the Mandaic language.
There are thought to be about 50,000 Mandaic people in the world today, predominantly in Iraq. There has been persecution in recent years, with many fleeing to the [[USA]] and [[Australia]].
