Shia view
Unlike the Sunni branch of Islam, Shiites view Aisha as a evil woman for her actions.[1] They reject her title of "the Mother of the Believers" and send curses upon her for her actions.[2][3] Many Shiites also celebrate the death of Aisha by sending more curses upon her and celebrating with food.[4]
