JazakAllah!

I had heard that while Zaidis believe that Ali (ra) was more worthy of being the first Caliph, they do not believe in his divine appointment. And that they do not curse Abu Bakr (ra), Umar (ra) and Uthman (ra). On the contrary, I was told, that they see the first three Caliphs as pious Muslims who did a lot of service for Islam.

Now why are Ismailis considered kaafir irrespective of whether they are a scholar or follower?
