Do you Sunni and Shias think of Ismailis as muslims?

[umairhasmi83]

What do most of you Sunni and Shias think about the Ismailis and Bohris? Are they muslim in your opinion considering the fact that they go to their own mosques and even their way of praying is drastically different from the norm?

bro drop the act, cause it's quite clear that your not asking a simple question here.but more of a sad attempt to stir up a whole fiasco that will eventually lead to a sunni vs shia war lasting 16-17 pages before it actually gets locked. in the end nothing would be proved except for chucks of articles being ripped of the net which hardly anyone would ever read.

RD is the last place to discuss such things an i can only hope muslims on here arent stupid enough to fall for your dirty little trap.

Okay first off this has NOTHING to do with Sunnis or Shias for that matter.There are so many sunnis as well as shias out there you have to accept both of those classes are muslims in their own right.

Secondly both Sunnis as well as Shias are open about what they do.The Bohrees and and the Ismailis are NOT that way.At least to the best of my knowledge only Aga Khanis are allowed inside the Jamaat khanas.

Not to mention both sunnis and shias have similar ways of praying while the Ismailis and Bohrees have COMPLETELY different ways of praying.

oh please. if you really where that keen on knowing then you would have googled it up and got your answer in less than 2 seconds. you'd know that both ismailis and bohoras are sects within shiasm whom differ in their beliefs on which imams suceeded which. and as for them being open that has nothignt o do with religion thats just a form of character. but then again i doubt that was your intention. just look at how you started the question do shias and sunnis believe that ismailis are muslims? its quite clear you expecting people to rush in here and say no they aren't.

oh and for you information i just googled your answer up and got this non biased article in less then a minute.

Are you aware of the fact that in pakistan if you want to get a passport you have to sign a declaration where you basically acknowledge the fact that Ahmadis (Qadiyanis) are NOT muslims.If you dont sign that you agree with that you dont get a passport.Dont believe me? Ask anyone who ever applied for a pakistani passport.This is nothing to do with whats writting on wikipedia or whatnot.I wanted the opinion of the people here who are shias/sunnis and what they think of Ismailis and Bohrees.

According to Sunnis, Ismailis are a sect of Shias. There are Twelvers, who are mainstream, Alawis, Ismailis etc. And we consider all of them to be outside of Islam expect their one sect, that is Zaidis. They are to be found in Yemen. But even Shis sects call each other non-Muslim, and main stream Shias dont consider Ismailis to be Shia/Muslim.
