Which Muslim sect do you sympathize with the most?

[phk]

Sunni, Shia, Alawi, Salafi, Ahmedi, Ismaili, etc.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

That one in Albania and Bosnia who say that it's OK to drink alcohol.

[Dr. Cynic]

Whichever ones that just wanna live in peace and harmony with everyone else.

Ahmadiyya, they have a relatively liberal theology and are persecuted in Muslim countries.

[I Am Feeblepizza.]

Ahmadiyya, they have a relatively liberal theology and are persecuted in Muslim countries.

That seems about right for me. If it's persecuted in Muslim countries than it must not be very Muslim at all. Maybe it's like the Muslim equivalent of non-trinitarian doctrines in Christianity?

[Хahar 🤔]

Ahmadiyya, they have a relatively liberal theology and are persecuted in Muslim countries.

They're also not Muslim.

Oh so they are like Muslim Mormons too like the Alawites? I suppose one would be the Mormons and the other would be more like Jehova's Witnesses.

Anyway I think I found the name of the answer I was looking for: Bektashis

[The Mikado]

Certain Sufis.  (Should be a pretty obvious answer)

They believe otherwise, just like the Mormans in relation to Christianity.  Of all self-described Muslims, I sympathize with the Ahmadiyya the most.

Bit of a cop out though.

Bit of a cop out though.

Its not my fault there aren't any prominant 'orthodox' Muslim sects that overwhelmingly support religious freedom, free speech, and equal protection under the law.  Muslim reformers have by and large not taken the crucial step of explicitly separating themselves from the traditionalists, so its difficult to name any right of hand.  If we're talking about Muslims organizations rather than sects, I have a sympathetic opinion towards the Liberal Islam Network in Indonesia.

[Sbane]

Sufis

That one in Albania and Bosnia who say that it's OK to drink alcohol.

That reminds me... what was that German gangsta rap line... something along the lines of "drinking, whoring, weed, hard drugs but I say no to pork - Sarajevo Style"

Oh so there's a Muslim equivalent of Catholics who'll do those things but won't eat meat on Fridays during Lent? Not all that surprising actually.

Sufis

Sufis aren't a sect. The vast majority of Sufis today like (95%+) today are Sunni.
