Are Shiites considered Muslims anymore? Someone told me they're officially not Muslim but their own religion. Im not really sure what i think is that they shouldn't even be afilliated with islam or even associated with islam as a matter of fact.

Shia are of the deviant sects of Islam, that has followed a strayed path. They are not outright non-muslim, because they say "La Ilaha Illa Allah", but with the extreme failure and deviance in the faith and fiqh that they fell in from parting holiness and Godly inspiration to Ali Ibn Abi Taleb and his progeny, and for the clerical system they now practice under, nothing is to be taken from them in Islam. A muslim woman is not even marriagable with a Shia man.

However, discussing sects is not allowed here brother. Brother Rashad, can you clarify how far we can take this thread?

May God bless us all with guidance.

There are many different sects amongst the Shias.
Some sects (like the Tafdheelis) are considered as Muslims as they differ only on the issue of khilafa i.e. they deem Ali (R.A) more deserving to be a leader than Abu Bakr (R.A).
They also revere and honour all the Sahabah. (Khairul fatawa 1/374 Shirkat printing press, Kifaayatul mufti 1/289 Darul ishaat)

However the majority of present-day Shias (Ithna ashra/Jafaries/Imamiyyias) hold such beliefs which render them out of the fold of Islam.
