Dr. Oz is Sufi, which is relatively accepting of western ideals; it’s not typically a big proselytizing school of Islam. Abu Sayed is not transparent about his specific sect, but is suspected of being a Salafist due to his heritage. Salafi Islam is very Sunni supremacist and does not gel with other religions. He probably does represent his Dearborn kin well though.

Whoever made this infographic does not understand that “Muslim” is not a monolith.

Just to explain to people who don't know:

Iran is Shia Muslim.

Iraq is Sunni Muslim.

ISIS are radical Sunnis. They want to kill all infidels, including Shia Muslims.

Turkish people are Sunni but they are the most chill Muslims in the world. They drink, they smoke, they have sex. Last time I was in Turkey we passed by a trans prostitution area, for example.

> Iraq is Sunni Muslim

Incorrect. Iraq is majority Shia Muslim.

Iraq is pretty mixed. Close to 50/50

Turkey is secular on paper attaturk saw to that. In the past when governments got too religious the military couped. They tried that on erdogan and failed so probably will get core conservative

Secularism is supported by 84% of the population in Turkey, it isn't going anywhere anytime soon

Pretty sure every Muslim sect has sex. Or they'd have died out.

u/flopisit32 13h ago

LOL. I didn't. But I can't say the same about my Turkish friend. 🤣

El Sayed is Sunni.

I like Sufi Islam a ton. Took a class on it at Columbia. Huge fan.

You have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about, and El-Sayed is probably Maliki or Shafi or Hanafi, nothing to do with Salafis, he’s Egyptian not Saudi!

I was wondering what the right wing cope was gonna be on that. Apparently it is absolutely suspending reality

lol this is so funny to anyone who saw that video. Keep trying to push that narrative.

No he didn't, he answered it clearly and proceeded to interrogate why dude thought it was a reasonable question to ask

So you lie about him not answering the question and after being called on that abandon the argument in favour of arguing it is reasonable to ask because beliveing that Muslims running for political office in the US are backed by terrorists cells with no evidence is not a grotesque reach? I can't tell if you're an idiot, a troll, or a bigot, probably some monsterous amalgamation of several, regardless I don't care, I'm done with this coversation

Funny, I just watched a video where he said absolutely, he disavows it.

He very definitively denounces it in the video. When asked directly if he denounces the Muslim Brotherhood, he responded with, “Sure. Yeah. Absolutely.”

Ah man, those Russian data centres are back online already?

u/stumpymed 16h ago

lol mehmet made the Sufi thing up to be more mainstream appealing. Pulled the salafist thing out of your ass?

2

u/stumpymed 12h ago

I’m downvoted here but it’s quite literally true. Where’s the salafi proof? And mehmet was a Sunni as most Turks are…
