Wait, so there are other groups in Islam apart from Shia and Sunni?

Those two are the main ones, sufism and the other groups are smaller groups compared to those two.
Why do Sufi's perform hadra? What is the evidence for hadra? Which major scholars or schools of thought have advocated such practices? Isn't it peculiar that the Sahaba did no such thing? If Hadra was beneficial/had rewards in it why didn't the Sahaba do it or why didn't the Prophet teach it to us?
Do you support ISIS/IS?

As far as I'm concerned there's nothing wrong with dhikr i don't see why other Muslims think it's wrong it's not promoting anything sinful.
In the end your seeking to get closer to god and your giving praise.

NO , if i had my way i would love to give every member of ISIS a dose of Ebola and watch them suffer slowly with every extremist on the face of this earth.

I was told that Sufis pray to tombs of scholars. Is there any truth to this?

Including me, but I want to see them defeated, if defeating means using deadly force than so be it. I'd just at least try and capture most of them.

Please don't call them vermin, i'm being a hypocrite since I called them rats but I was mentally aiming that at the real terrorists in ISIS. But you need to understand that a lot of them are Syrian youths (like me) whose lost their houses, families and friends - and were brainwashed into joining ISIS. It's very easy to convince someone who's down and vulnerable.

I know what your getting at but these terrorists have become so hell bent in their minds that it's basically impossible to speak to them.

The youth can definitely be helped but i think for the safety of other people they shouldn't be allowed back into there original country. Maybe send them to a place where for a few years there put back in the right frame of mind and then allow them back into society as a whole when they're proven to be peaceful.

However the elders are a completely different issue they will never change so it becomes harder to you use any peaceful method to stop this problem.

I like to combine religion and science together and use the combined concepts to understand things.
