What are the three main branches of islam?
There is only one religion of Islam, but it is divided into numerous sects. The most populous sects are Sunnis (roughly 85% of the Muslim population) and Shiites (roughly 15% of the Muslim population). There are minor sects like the Ibadi which count for less than 1% of all Muslims. Often, Westerners will consider Sufis to be a distinct sect of Islam, but while Sufism is a different form of practice (mystical vs. dogmatic), it is not a distinct sect. Most Sufis would be considered Sunnis. The more mystical sects of Shiite Islam (such as Druze, and Alawite) are often not considered parts of Islam anymore due to their abrogation of certain Islamic principles.
