    Bro at this point i think ur just arguing to argue

    The literal definition of centralized disproves what ur trying to say. Search up sunni and shia, its literally two branches of the religion.

    And ur point about abrahamic religion doesnt make sense, cause when have u ever heard someone say abrahamic religions are centralized, u never heard that.

    And ur wrong sunni and Shia definitely all considered themselves muslims. Literally the shia were wanted to unite them all under one rule of ayatollah

    No it doesn't my guy lol. Their authorities govern two separate populations and the authority isn't shared, it exists for two separate groups.

    For your last point, wow seems like they're trying to consolidate Islam into even more a centralized authority then aren't they? I mean the entire beginning of Islam was when the prophet wanted to bring the entire region under one religion back when you had various fractions of tribes practicing polytheistic things.

    The discrimination and genocides between the two groups and how it's divided the regions they both live kind of show that despite being under 'Islam' they do see themselves differently. To disagree honest is to ignore long history conflict and tension, it's mad disingenuous and just not true.

    Again for it to be decentralized both the Ayotallah and Sunni imams would be followed by the same people, Sunni and Shia are not the same. Ignore the general label and look at the reality of their history.

    "Their authorities govern two separate populations and the authority isn't shared, it exists for two separate groups"

    Bro the fact that u said this, is literally agreeing with my point. How can islam be a centralized religion, which means there is a single authority, when there isnt a shared authority do u see what I mean.

    Sunni islam is not a different religion than shia islam, its literally different interpretations of the same book.

    And no the shia are tryna unite both factions to have a centralized religion.

    I think u have a flawed understanding of what it means to be decentralized. It means that their are different leaders and different communities.

    Like u wouldnt split america and say nah the west coast of america is not really america its Democrat america and the south is not really america its republican america. Its all part of the whole the same way sunni and shia is all part of the whole of islam

    Its actually funny that these people will talk about support for minorities, and women on the US, but when something like this happens they will scream "islamophobic".

    Judging a country/government for their laws that they justify with religion isnt "Islamophobic" or "racist"...thats not how this works lol.

    Bro come on now. How can the WHOLE religion of islam be centralized when there are TWO MAJOR factions. Sunni and shia are still under the umbrella of Islam it's not a separate religion just different sects. That's almost like saying political power in america is centralized, or saying christianity is centralized.

    The definition of centralized is literally this

    "concentrate (control of an activity or organization) under a single authority"

    You can try and argue that shia islam specifically is centralized or sunni Islam is specially centralized, u would lose that argument, but you cant argue that Islam which is made up of BOTH sects is centralized. Because by definition it literally cant be

    Shia are not under the umbrella of Islam

    Would this not be parallel to forms of christianity not considering Catholicism as christianity even tho is.

    U might not consider shia Islam, islam but it definitely is a branch of islam that is followed by muslims

    Don’t strawman my argument

    They are a branch of Islam just as the Ahmediyya are. Just as the Quranists are

    They have deviated from the foundations of the Deen

    Do you consider it permissible to curse and conspire on the Sahaba (RA) who have been guaranteed Jannah?

    Or consider Ali (A) divine?

    Or believe that it’s permissible to say the 12 Imam’s(including the absentee) are infallible?

    They are polytheistic and disbelievers, according to their own books.

    Bro I dont agree with their view point, but their sect and branch of islam is based on the quran, how can one that submitted themselves to God and the teachings of the quran, not be a "muslim"

    They are not based on the Quran. Nor do they submit themselves to God or follow the Quran.

    If you disagree support your claim.

    How do u want me to support that lol

    Do they not say the same call to prayer as us, where they confess there is no god but Allah.

    And yea they are based on the Quran how r they not, where do u think the whole split between the sunni and shia originated from.

    There is no “Follow Ahl ul Bayt and denounce the Muhajiroon and Ansar And the Mother of Believers,” may Allah be pleased with them and Her in the Quran.

    There is no “Follow The Infallible Imamate” in the Quran

    There is no “Call Ya Ali for help” in the Quran
