Muslims in world are near 80% sunni and near 20% shia. researchers have counted up to 260 sect for Islam that they all belong to categories Sunni and shia. the main category of Shia is 12 Imami shia and other sects of shia are nearly extincted.
there is at least 300,000,000 shia Muslims in world, but there is no clear stat. shias always have been controlled and killed during history and so usually they hide their beliefs. all 12 Imams of shia have been killed or spent their life in prison by Omayyads and Abbasids.

Most Syrian Muslims are members of which branch of Islam?
Most of us are Sunni, of course. Then there are Syrian Christians and Jews, as well. Not as many as Muslims, of course. The sect called the "Alawi" are a minority in Syria - but the president of Syria comes from that group. They are actually not Muslims by the clear definition of what Islam is. But then, I do not consider many of the Shiah to be really Muslims either. At least, not those who pray to other than the One God.
