Answer 1

There is only one form of Islam. Even the two known schools of Islam, Shiites and Sunnis, are practicing one form of Islam. They differ in only some practices that are not so contradictory as concerns the basic Islam principles, Quran Guides, or Prophet Muhammad's sayings or practices.

See for more information the question listed below.

Answer 2

Most Muslims are Sunnis and constitute between 75-90% of all Muslims. The second largest sect, Shia, makes up 10-20%. Other schools such as Ibadi (a third school that is much less populous, but dominant in Oman) are more or less a rounding error. As concerns the uniformity of Islam, this is incorrect. Many Shia and Sunnis claim that the other branch is committing Takfir or Blasphemy (especially as concerns the role of 'Ali in Shia Islam) which would make these schools sufficiently different as to be considered unique faiths even though the fundamentals are the same (in the same way that Orthodox Christian and Catholic Christian are two different faiths even though the fundamentals are the same), never mind the difference between Sunni and Shia vs. Ibadi.
