Jarudiyya is the earliest of the Zaydi sect. They came before Battriya, another sub sect of Zaydi.
Both sects have some degree of similarity, such as, not restricting the Imamah solely on the line of the twelve Imams of the Shias.
The most striking difference between the two sects is the level of tolerance shown at the governance of the first two Sunni Caliphs (Abu Bakr and Umar).
Jaruddiya, the earliest of the Zaydi sect, considered anyone who refused to recognize the Imamah of Ali ibn Abi Talib as unbeliever. They completely reject the caliphate of Abu Bakr and Umar al-Khattab.
Battriya, the sect that came later, acknowledge the caliphate of Abu Bakr and Umar al-Khattab and also Ali Ibn Abi Talib. They have also rejected the later Imams of the Shias, some preferring to go with the descendants of Zayd.
Jaruddiya is the correct position. No lover of Allah, nor any loyalist to the ways of our Holy Prophet, should ever accept the hypocrisy, deceit and cruelty of the first three evil doers. This is the immutable contention of the Shi'at al-Barbariyya of America !
