neves your answers are very well expressed by the way, and i congratulate kadz for starting this thread.

I think fullyveiled muslimah most fluently answered about whom we consider to be “learned”…and for whom we consider to deserve the most respect … I personally think a person who his most devote in worshipping God…. one who respects other people… and the hardest one to uncover… someone with a good and straightforward heart… In other words someone who is pious…

And thankyou Moon Woman.

I assume this to be the case… it sure helps keep us detached from each other… but why these sects exist… is a more multifaceted question which requires it own thread…

Well, it's still within the confines of the OP, but without getting too engrossed with it all, are you able to tell me is these different "groups", for lack of a better word, get along with each other?

I guess it all depends on where they live... I can say personally, where I live we get along pretty good… we live as friends in most cases as well... like I said if I would try to answer this question it would be from conjecture... I myself don’t fully grasp the circumstances that surround this issue... maybe another poster can help you out...
