    Default Ya Fatima As-Zahra

    As you all know, I don't like Islam as I don't like any Abrahamic religion (some sects I find more tolerable than others), but if I had to pick, I would pick Shia Islam because its theology is amenable to a wide range of unorthodox views because it is hierarchical and ascribes supernatural powers to Shia leaders. It is their supposed affinity to the household of the prophet (Ahl-al-Bayt) which is supposedly responsible for their powers. Most Sufi schools started out as Shia. Shi'ism along with its sects (Alevis, Alawis, Bektashis, Ismailis, etc.) is tied up with mysticism and views which depart from normative Islam. Let us not forget also that Shia Islam has been influenced by iconography and devotions from the eastern Christian world as well. Look at how Ali is depicted like Christ, and devotion to Fatima Zahra is almost comparable to that of the Blessed Virgin in traditional Christianity. Shi'ism's emphasis on mortification, flagellation, blood, and martyrdom also makes it more like traditional Christianity. Legends of the sword Zulfikar in Shia folklore also betrays a link, however tenuous, with pre-Islamic Arabic polytheism.

    Shia, but the best would be Alevi or Sufi.

    Yes, your right. Quaranist Muslims, Alevits, Sufis, Alawites and Bahais are all peacefull. The only problem are the Sunnits (especially Wahabites), Shiites and probably Ahmadiyya Moslems (because they are a sect).

    Shia Islam has a lot of degenerate practises, like Nikah mut'ah, or their version of Taqiya. The best is some form of non denominational or Quranist type of Islam, since it avoids the shariah law stuff from the Hadiths.
