>Ahmadiyya
It's very expensive.

>>40794283
I mean they’re all expensive in the long run if you can’t borrow money or have a mortgage. You basically rent housing and cars for life

The others seem like variations on the same “Ali/the imam is god”, but any serious digging into Ahmadi Islam reveals it to be a British psyop to quall dissent in the Indian independence movement, similar to the Bahai and their role in Zionism. It should be noted that the founder of the Nation of Islam was possibly a rouge ahmadi who used his racial ambiguity as an Afghan to pass off as black, and that he took bribes from the Japanese Black Dragon Society in a failed attempt to be a fifth column in America, taking a lot from the Masonic/Theosophical Moorish Science Temple in the process.

I can give you a more detailed run down, but this is a brief one of each.

Alawiyya - The externally Islamic secret society that possesses an almost Masonic mystery. The Alawi are hard to find info on, but there was a very trustworthy Alawi who came to /x/ and I can ask him questions for you guys.
Ismai'liyya - Twelver Shia on steroids. This school of thought is pretty much the origin point for the original Illuminati. The group that we call the Illuminati was known as the Roshani or Roshaniyya. The name means light in Central Asian languages through Persian. Ismailliyya also gave us the Asassins or followers of Ash-Shaikh al Jabal (Sheikh of the Mountain) who probably was the first real recognizable cult leader in history. Also first terrorist group.

>Ahmadiyya - One of the more interesting strains of Islam, if only because of it's attempt to reconcile Hindu Dharma with the Quran. Like their Sufi predecessors, they were trying to make the strict practices of Islam into something that would appeal to Hindus. They also tried to appease Buddhists in the same subcontinant of India. Credit where credit is due, because they did pretty well. Ahmadis did make a mistake and got involved in a feud with a British cult leader. Weirdly the British cult leader liked dressing up as a High Priest of Judaism. I can tell that story if anyone is interested, as it highlights one of the follies of the Ahmadis.

>Alawism
as muslims as Mormons are Christian
>Ismailism
radical shias
>Alevism
same as Alawism
>Ahmadiyya
British psyop

>Ismaili are radical shias
Sounds like the opposite to me.

>Their women don’t wear hijab
>they can eat and drink whatever they want
>women are encouraged to become westernized whores and bossbabe office workers

>>40794468
They're not radicals like that. They are extreme in how they approach the inner interpretation of Islam aka Batiniyya. The idea of going against the mainstream Islam is at the heart of Ghulat sects like the ones in the thread.

>>40794468
It’s moreso that Ismaili lays the mystical/antinomian side of Shia manifest. The Mahdi in twelver Islam is seen as a real being who will really return with Jesus and really take over the world. The Mahdi in Ismaili is more a spiritual ideal that the current leader seeks to embody, similar to the pope in Catholicism.

>keep their women in line like the Sunnis
They keep their women in line, but they aren't keeping them in bags like the Taliban or other crazy "fundamentalist Muslims".

The British/Scottish (bloody ell m8) Israeli cult leader (John Alexander Dowie) and the Ahmadi leader (Mirza Ghulam Ahmad) decided to threaten each other with death over messianic claims and other crazy stuff. John pulled a childish kid faking sick move and said the whole thing was stupid anyway so d'oh uh uh he the real messiah lol.
Muslim Ulama also didn't like this guy because they said he was a kafir. Wow. Read about this. Oh man.

Alevis aren't the same as Alawis even though they sound pretty much the same. Alevism is a syncretism of Islam and Turkic shaman traditions. Its a unique Turkish belief system.

The Alawites' initial two layers often resemble a Batinid attempt to infuse Islamic teachings with Gnostic elements, creating a complex esoteric framework. The most compelling aspect of Alawite belief is found in the Khassites, who practice an astral religion focused on constructing mental bastions to explore the universe and self. Their theology deeply engages with the concept of the Adversary, aligning closely with Jungian psychology. They embrace rigorous Hermeticism, Neoplatonism, and a multitude of intricate doctrines, making their tradition exceptionally profound and multifaceted. A Khassite, referred to as Ahl al-Najm or "People of the Star," reportedly shared insights on /x/, sparking intriguing discussions.

Sufis, by contrast, are intensely devoted to Allah, striving for a state of absolute worship and spiritual absorption. The Ismailis share similarities with the Alawites but are less complex, often seen as a lighter version of their esoteric counterparts. The Druze blend Greek philosophy, Judaism, and Islam into a distinct syncretic tradition. The Yazidis and certain Batinid Ismailis venerate Azazel, adding to the diversity of esoteric practices. Among these secretive sects, the Alawite Khassites stand out as the most enigmatic and philosophically rich.
