Oh, cool, tell us more! I'm shamfully weak in my knowledge of Islam. What variety do you practice? How deeply are you into it? What part of the world are you in and what's it like for Muslims there?
For which variety, I rather prefer not to align myself with a particular sect. I dislike the animosity that builds between various sects... it's contrary to Islam, in my opinion. You have to reach your own understanding between you and God, and there are going to be differences between every person...discuss them, build your knowledge, but it doesn't mean you have to join a band against another band that differs on some item or another. I'm kind of on my own where I'm living right now (western washington). The town I'm in isn't particularly welcoming to anybody "different," to put it mildly. I think I might be better off in a bigger city where there are actually some other muslims, although I prefer the country.
