Re: various ‘schools’ of thought in Islam
I think one should be very clear about his/her beliefs and I don’t see the harm in categorizing yourself as sunni or shia or salafi etc..problems start when people start focusing on each other’s faults only. Unity must be the biggest focus of muslims, not minor differences. That’s why according to Imam Malik (or Imam Abu Hanifa not sure) debate on religious issues between people is haram.
