Kharijites
"Kharijites" (Arabic خوارج Khawarij) is a general term embracing a variety of Islamic sects which reject the caliphate of Ali as invalid. They first emerged in the late 7th century AD, concentrated in today's southern Iraq, and are distinct from the Sunni and Shiites. The only surviving Kharijite sect is Ibadism, concentrated principally in Oman.
