Not only my interpretation. This is agreed upon unanimously by the scholars of Islam (in both Sunni and Shia Islam).
You said that the Alevis don't pray nor fast, which we are clearly told to do so in the Quran, and that's why their beliefs are not in agreement with Islam. That's the main issue.
Because its their interpretation. The problem with religion it can not be tested. So If someone say this is my belief or this is my interpretation of Islam you can not say, "No you're wrong".
