In time ibn Abi Kabsha's Messianization of the Sadducees Messianic Sadducee movement succeeded in [[Tachkastan]] with a [[Sadducee]] warlord called [[Mahmet the Ishmaelite]] who in his old age adopted certain [[Manichean]] ideas about [[Rebbe Yehoshua Minzaret]] and the [[Mishnah]] which Rebbe Yehoshua Minzaret promoted.
Mahmet the Ishmaelite was originally a Sadducee warlord known as Emir Ambrus who rose to prominence in Tachkastan having subjugated the Banu Qabisa. He went on to conquer the Patriarchates of Jerusalem, Antioch and Alexandria where he became renowned for his brutal suppression of the followers of Rebbe Yehoshua Minzaret.
