Muslim Imam calls for Homosexual death 3 weeks before pulse nigh club shooting

Does this 'central authority' have a name? Sunni High Command? How do they keep sects like the Ahmadis or Ismailis from forming? No, wait, they can't do a damn thing about it because they don't exist. Any Imam can preach his own interpretation of Islam.

I'm sorry are you under the impression that the Ahmadis and or the Ismailis are branched off the Sunni sect? First of all the Ahmadiyya are not muslim as they do not believe mo-hammy was the final prophet of God. they follow the teaching of some other goat man who came after.

To answer your question, The Leadership of the sunni 'control' sub sects from froming by KILLING the 'apostate/heretics.' That is why 90% of all muslims are Sunni, because no one in the that sect has any other choice. That is also why Pakistan and even those in Iran are fighting ISIS (sunni Islam) because they too are under the threat of extinction by the sunni as most of them are Shia, which does contain many, many divisions/sub sects like the Ismailis.

But again, the vast majority of islam is not shia it is sunni, which includes the members of ISIS and most muslims in the US and Europe.

That's why there's Universal Sufism, Quranism (ditch the hadiths), Imams who support separation of government and religion, Islamic Modernism; and groups like Muslims for Progressive Values and the Muslim Alliance for Sexual and Gender Diversity. Because of the absolute control of the Central Authority of Islam.

Not in the Sunni sect which is what i am talking about.

Everything you said is correct... but it is correct about shia islam not the sunnis. There is a leadership structure and the Imams of Sunni Islam are well versed and well rehearsed. They speak as one if they are sunni.

What do you think fuels and funds ISIS? are you of the Obama camp in trying to disregard them as a "rag tag bunch of trouble makers?" the "JV team?" To assemble, fund and support a fighting force that size despite the best efforts of the West, and to call it the ISLAMIC STATE Demands a strong organized support structure. despite what you think you've been told about them, or what you tell yourself so you can sleep at night.

I am sorry you think I thought both those sects split from Sunni Islam when it was just the Ahmadiyya that did. Are you the authority on whether a sect is Muslim or not? You won't find 'believe Mohammed is the final prophet' in the Five Pillars of Islam.

You really think a religious orthodoxy can control 1.5 billion adherents? That none of the organizations I mentioned are composed mostly of Sunnis? That 'kill the apostate' crap may fly in Saudi Arabia or Yemen; but not in Muslim majority countries like Albania, Bosnia, Turkey (or ex-Soviet 'Turkic' countries like Kazakhstan), or Morocco. And many of those fighting ISIS are Sunnis. You better get in touch with Sunni High Command and tell them to get their act together. You know those Kurds so famous for fighting ISIS? Mostly Sunnis. Turkish forces? Mostly Sunnis. It's almost like no one is really in charge of Sunni Muslims.
