Istanbul, Turkey is one of the most Muslim-populated cities in the world, with a significant Muslim population. It is known for its rich Islamic history and culture, with many mosques and religious sites throughout the city.
we have to mention the appearance of sufism in Islam religion to understand the relation between Sunni and sufi.
among the companions of the prophet , Ali is known particular for his eloquent exposition of gnostic truths and the stages of the spiritual life. his words in this domain comprise an exhaustible treasury of wisdom. among the works of the other companions which have survived there is not the great deal of material that concerns this type of question, among the associates of Ali such as Salman Farsi , Uways Qurani, Kumayl Ibn ziyad, Rushayd Hajari, Maytham Tammar and Rabi Ibn Khaytam.
however there are figures have been considered by the majority of Sufis , Sunni and shiite Alike< as the heads of their spiritual chain(Silsilah) after Ali.
after this group there appeared others such as tawus Yanmani, Shayban Rai, Malik ibn Dinar, Ibrahim Adham and Shaqiq Balkhi, who were considered by the people to be saints and men of God. these men,without publicly talking about gnosis and sufism, appered externally as ascetics and did not hide the fact that they had been initiated by the early group and had undergone spiritual training under them.
after them there appeared at the end of the 2nd/8th century and beginning of the 3rd//9th century men such as Bayazid Bastami, Maruf Karkhi, Junayd Baghdadi, and others like them, who followed the sufi path and openly declared their connection with sufism and gnosis. they divulged certain esoteric sayings based on spiritual vision which, because of their repellent external form, brought upon them the condemnation of some of the jurists and theologians . some of them were imprisoned , flogged and even occasionally killed. Even so, this group persisted and continued its activities despite its opponents. in this manner , gnosis and the"Way" or Triqah and Sufism, conyinued to grow until in the 7th/13th and 8th/14th centuries it reached the height of its expansion and power. since then, some times stronger and at other times less so, it has continued its existence to this very day within the Islamic world.
Gnosis or sufism as we observe it today first appeared in the Sunni world and later among the Shiites. the first men who openly declared themselves to be sufis and gnostics and were recognized as spiritual masters of sufi orders, apparently followed Sunnism in the branches or Furu of Islamic Law. many of masters who followed them and who expanded the sufi orders were also sunnis in their following of the law.
even so these masters traced their spiritual chain , which in spiritual life is like the genealogical chain of a person, through their previous masters to Ali. also the results of their visions and intuitions as transmitted to us convey mostly truths concerning divine unity and the stations of the spiritul life which are found in the sayings of Ali and Other shiite Imams. this can be seen provided we are not affected by some of the striking and even sometimes shocking expressions used by these Sufi masters and consider the total content of their teachings with deliberations and patience . Sanctity resulting from initiation into the spiritual path, which sufis consider s the perfection of man, is the state which, according to Shiite belief is possessed in its fullness by the imam and through the radiance of his being cab be attained by his true followers. and the spiritual pole(Qutb) whise existence at all times is considered necessary bu all the sufis- as well as thw attributes associated with him.
The History of Islam in China began when four Sahabas- Sa'ad ibn abi Waqqas (b.594-d.674 AD), Wahb Abu Kabcha, Jafar ibn Abu Talib and Jahsh (a father-in-law of Prophet Muhammad)preached in 616/17 and onwards in China after coming from Chittagong-Kamrup-Manipur route after sailing from Abyssinia in 615/16. Sa'ad ibn abi Waqqas later, after conquest of Persia in 636, went with Sa'id ibn Zaid (b.594- d.673 AD), Qais ibn Sa'd (d.682 AD) and Hassan ibn Thabit to China in 637 taking the complete volume of the Quran.

Why are all terrorists Muslims?
Muslim terrorists are more likely to announce that they are doing it in the name of Islam, thus bringing attention to their religion - so their acts of terrorism tend to get lumped together as if they were one monolithic organization rather than many disparate organizations. Make no mistake - much terrorism is occurring in the name of Islam, but that is hardly the only source of terrorism. Groups as disparate as Central American drug organizations, African warlords, European leftist organizations, and Japanese religious cults have been involved in terrorist attacks. With that said, a survey of reported terrorist incidents over the last 20 years shows a disproportionate number of incidents have been carried out by individuals who claim to be doing it in the name of Islam making it seem like "all" of the terrorist attacks are by Muslims.
Answer 1
It is not true that all world terrorists are Muslims. It is the media propaganda to fulfill political and religious world Agenda. When the terrorist is Christian or Jewish or Hindu, or any religion rather than Islam, he/she is named by his/her the nationality and not by the religion. If the terrorist is Muslim he/she is named by the religion Islam and not by the nationality. Consequently, they give the impression that terorists are only Muslims.
It is the opposite. Islam is against terrorism and against terrifying innocent people. Any Muslim who does terrorist acts against civilians is not reckoned Muslim and he/she is against Islam religion.
See, for more information, the related questions listed below.
Answer 2
It is a misconception and piosonous propaganda against the Muslims. Terrorism is not associated with any religion. Terrorists are found because there is INJUSTICE around us. There is lack of tolerance. We have divided ourselves on the basis of caste, color, creed, geographical bounds etc. Terrorists are the product of re-action of crulty, suppression, maltreatment, insult, and disgrace done to their nation, relatives or to them. They want revenge. Had there been the rule of Justice, there would have been no terrorists. When we suppress a nation, tribe or people, occupy their lands and destroy their houses and belongings, may be they have no alternative but to avenge themselves on the oppressors and sometimes on even innocent people. History shows Freedom Fighters termed as 'Terrorist' by the oppressors/invaders but heroes by their own nation. The Americans who fought against the British to win their freedom were called terrorists. The Irish people fighting against UK are still called terrorists. The Negroes were once called terrorists by the white people who occupied their lands and kept them in slavery for many decades. So, it is mostly from which angle you see things and by which yardstick you measure others. No religious group can claim to be 'clean' and 'just' in this regard.
