I consider the The Shiite are outsiders, they are not true muslims, that also apply to Ahmadi's, Ishmaili's, Alawi's and Zaidi's, they all are not true Muslims. They are all part of Shiite main religion

Although they read exactly the same Qura'n as Sunni's, but the application of what Prophet Muhammad told us, have deviated far to the extreme, they give high status to Ali and his children more than any one else, they consider them in the same level of saints and angels, they dignify them more than Prophet Muhammad himself. or his friends the Khalifa's

Sufism is too extreme and tight sect. way far (extremely strict) than Muhammad taught us, not acceptable by the majority of Muslims

Bahaii's are not part of Islam, same as Druze, they don't read the Quran and do not belong to Islam

The only true religion and sect in Islam are the Sunnis and they are called Sunnis because they follow what Muhammad teach us, they are the true Muslims and they are not extreme, and you will find them the majority in this world, they count 1.5 billion compared to a mere 150 million shiites and others in this world and mainly they roam in the Iranian circle
