Why do you think that Islam has no factions/sect like Christianity(Catholic, Protestant, Adventist,etc.)?

Question

Is it because they are afraid that other fanatic Muslims will kill them? Or they are just loyal to their religion?

Ok, I forgot that, because I was thinking about Islam in our country(Philippines), and most of Asia with no factions.

Answer 1

they do have.

Answer 2

Guess you don't read the papers. The Sunni Muslims in Iraq are afraid of genocide at the hands of the Shiite Muslims. Sunnis and Shiites clashed in Lebanon, under the guise of Hezbollah (Shiite militia sponsored by Big Daddy Shiites, Iran) vs. the Lebanese Army (really just a weak counterweight consisting of Sunnis and Christians). Catholics and Protestants have not fought over religion since probably the 17th century (the Northern Irish battles are political and economic).

Answer 3

Well Islamists have the Shia sect and the Sunni sect and they're batteling it out right now in Iraq.Shia's leaders are straight from Prophrt Muhammad called the Imam,Sunni's leaders are elected rulers called Caliphs.There is also fundamental(strict) Islam and consertive (easy going) liberal Islam.

Answer 4

Islam is in accordance with hardship-free experience: idea in a unmarried God, who does no longer beget neither is He begotten [why would the author of this massive universe with billions and billions of galaxies sense the want to beget a human newborn?] In Islam each newborn is born threat free; in Christianity each newborn is born a sinner; Islam encourages reason in faith; in Christianity, faith is above and previous reason. Islam says that God is maximum type and Merciful; Christianity says that God the daddy is so merciless and unreasonable that He wouldn't have forgiven a unmarried sin without blood sacrifice of His own son. Islam says that the time period "Son of God" [bardalah in Aramaic as well as Barabbas and Barnabas] meant actually a pious human being and became under no circumstances taken actually. Christianity took it more desirable actually because Paul became preaching to a very pagan target marketplace for whom those words were translated into more desirable literal words, as it truly is what they were used to with their very own Roman gods and goddesses.

Answer 5

You haven't been paying attention. Ever hear of Shiite and Sunni? Those are the major sects, but there are a number of others. And, yes, they are killing each other. (Or, have you been ignoring the news from Iraq?)

Answer 6

They do. Sunni, Shi'ites, Sufis, Kahrijites are all sects of Islam

Answer 7

Sunni, Shii, Sufi, Karojote, Wahabbi

I am Sunni

Answer 8

Ah first off, The Holy Catholic Church is THE Christian Church with a bunch of protesting cafeteria Christians.

Answer 9

You sound about as educated about Muslims as George Bush was before he started the war.

Answer 10

Surely you jest. Sunnis, Shiites? Ring a bell?

Answer 11

We have factions unfortunately. But I guess its not as severve because the Quran has never been changed.
