  • Ismaili Muslims
     OP - August 05, 2014, 02:34 PM
    So, I had an interesting thought today.

    Growing up, we were always taught that Ismaili Muslims are not 'real' Muslims. I'm not sure I ever really cared, but that was definitely the dominant atmosphere.

    They weren't real Muslims because they have the Aga Khan to 'override' the Koran/Hadith.

    Now, that I reflect on it, it's actually the only branch of Islam that I see some sense in. They're willing to say the rules are dynamic and need to be updated with time.

    Now don't me wrong, I know the big problems with it (that it is still Islam, aga khan following, wealth...). I'm just pointing out the irony in how I see things as it relates to the practice of religion for the average person.

    Used to work with an Ismaili.  Brilliant!  If people like her were leading Islamic world there might be some hope!
