What Muslim group accepts only the descendants of the Umayyads as rightful rulers of Muslims?
There is no such group. The Umayyads were supported by the Sunnis because they had temporal power, but the Sunnis never had a requirement that the ruler need be a descendant of the Umayyads; their precondition for having the right to rule was having the power to effectively govern.Perhaps this question confuses the Shiite requirement that a rightful ruler be a descendant of Ali ibn AbuTalib. Ali and the Umayyads were enemies and are in-no-way related.
What did the Shiite Muslims believe about the Umayyads?
Umayyads always controlled shia Muslims and kept Imams of shia in prison or killed them. shia Muslims hated Umayyads and always hided their beliefs to be safe from Umayyads security officers.They don't consider them right.
Were people unhappy with the Umayyad's rule because the Umayyads favored Shiites?
No. Under the Sunni Umayyads, Shiites were quite strongly discriminated against. After Yazid I martyred Hussein, the Shiites made it their mission in life to oppose every action of the Umayyad dynasty. It did not help matters that the Umayyads tortured and murdered Shiite Imams and Infallibles, leading to irreconcilability between the Shiites and the Umayyads.The anger happened specifically because Umayyads targeted Shiites and Mawali Sunnis (Sunnis who were not Arabs) for violence. They also had issues with control over the vast distances of their empire as well as noble Arab families that resented the Umayyads' rise and wanted power. (One of these rival families was the Abbassids, who would eventually take power from the Umayyads in a coup d'etat.)
In which direction from their capital Damascus did the Umayyads expand their empire?
The Umayyads expanded their empire primarily to the west and north from their capital, Damascus. They extended their territory across North Africa and into the Iberian Peninsula, reaching as far as Spain. Additionally, they expanded eastward into Persia and Central Asia, significantly increasing the extent of their empire during their rule.
