Umair Khan’s Reviews > Imams and Emirs: State, Religion and Sects in Islam > Status Update

Come to know about the Druzes, the Alawis, the Yazidis, and the Ibadis. "Recognizing these (four schools of fiqh) schools to the exclusion of others was obviously a political decision that had nothing to do with divine law as such".

Interesting analysis on the Urbanity of the mainstream state-sponsored Islam and the peripherality of the sects.
