I respect the religious that are moral and do the right thing. As someone not religious I still expect some decorum. Religious people as a whole don't live up to that standard from my experience. They're ass holes and use it as cover for being an ass hole.

Religion may be, strictly, incorrect - however, it's time tested for a stable society.

"Intelligent" people seem to go out of the well warn path, but generally when you're exploring some new route, you nearly always end up with a dead end. You're not just competing against present people, you're competing against generation after generation after generation. The "new paths" you wander along might very well have been walked before, 1000 years ago, and forgotten, because they were found to be dead ends 9 centuries ago.

Religion has utility but I'm disturbed at it's abuse by the powerful. However, when you're exploring "new" ways to view and explore the world, you're doing it without any benefit of prior knowledge which has been built over millennia.

They are Muslims

Many Sufis do not believe that Mohammed was the final prophet of the world and thus, they're almost like Latter Day Saints where Joseph Smith, like Christianity's founder Paul of Tarsas did centuries ago, have a vision of Christ and thus, became an apostle of sorts. Most mainstream Christians consider Smith to be full of shit or delusional.

So no, unless Islam has a reformation of sorts, where oddball denominations can form w/o the Imams and Clerics shutting it down, it's stll Islam, the religion started by Mohammed and spread by Caliphate Abu Bakr by the sword.

Sufis are Muslim in name and geography only.

farmer2021 is a worst cross bread of Sikh and Islam commie very likely have been working for a Hindus and doesn't have a clue on how to get out and be frustrated based on the comments. There is no f. god out there. Religion is all about looting resources and launching an assault on others. I ignored him/her long time ago and never justify to waste a second on any sh* comes out of him/her.
