You're NOT Salafi, Sufi, or Khariji - you're a Sunni Muslim

I think I've said too much in this thread, I probably shouldn't have.

No, you have a valid point and you were right to speak your mind that the use of labels is divisive. I think all who refer to themselves as 'Sunni' would prefer to be known simply as Muslim, but at the same time to differentiate themselves from others such as we have discussed and to do so the unfortunate result is another label for ourselves whether we like it or not. I for one do not see the term 'Sunni' as divisive as I include a wide range of folks in that term while at the same time feeling separate from others who use a different term.

They follow parts of the Sunnah, their way of obtaining the authenticity of hadith is not like that of ours. The sunnah and Qur'an order to be respectful the Sahaba, the Shia do not do that. There are many other things, I can't remember them correctly right now.

There is a war between the people of Sunnah (Sunnis) and Shi'ah (an ideology which opposes the Sunnah and is committing war crimes on Syrian Sunnis and Sunnis of other lands). So this differentiation needs to be made clear.

From personal experience which I have had with people who belong to those incorrect beliefs which you have mentioned, they tend to label themselves with either, Hadith rejector, Ahmadi Muslim, Shia Muslim etc.

I am sorry, but this thread sounds to me like it is very negative towards any Muslims other than Sunnis ... :hmm:

I thought sectarian discussions were not permitted and I am surprised this thread is allowed to go on.

Are you saying that only Sunnis are true Muslims?

Oh, I thought is was only about who should lead the religion after Muhammad died. Did Ali start the Shia movement or was it only his followers?
