Islamic sect?

Is it right to call the Druzes a sect of Islam. I think that neither they themselves or Muslims consider Druzism Islam. What about founder of the Druze derivation of Islam. --Error 00:15, 23 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Considering that they have long called themselves Muwahhidun, and virtually all Muslims regard tawheed as the preeminent and most pertinent truth, and that all true prophets and imams were musleem, I don't think it's unjustifiable to include them under Islam.

Come on! How many "Islamic" derivatives considered all other Islamic permutations non-Islamic. (Much the same for Christians.)

The real issue is that we denominate the Muwahiddun by the name their antagonists gave them, and which, unlike Quakers, Shakers, and whomever, never agreed to it. Since any comprehensive article will point this out -- just as several Wiki ones do now -- that should make everyone happy (of course nothing ever will!). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.234.242.137 (talk) 23:26, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

I added a cite and cleaned up the writing - it was/is kind of poorly written and needs grammarnatin'. Naahid بنت الغلان ^{Click to talk} 13:02, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Turk? or Iranian?

I personally hate this kinds of arguments but we really have to make this thing clear. Sources needs to support his Turkic identity. Every other sources I've found mentions Iranian identity, so does his name 'Anushtakin'.

Even if he was from a Turkic identity it doesn't mean he was a Turk. 'Turk' should be changed with word 'Turkic'. I'm editing and deleting the word Turk until sources are added. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.182.186.148 (talk) 12:29, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Ad-Darazi as one of the seven prophets of the Druze (sic)

Incredible that it needs posting, but the article currently says "Ad-Darazi is one of the seven prophets of the Druze". It is an obvious mistake to anyone who knows a little bit about the Druze faith. It seems to have been a mistake - someone clearly mistook Muhammad ibn Isma'il (the founder of the Ismaili sect), one of the Druze's prophets, for Ad-Darazi, whose first and third names where also Muhammad and Ismail, but who is a totally distinct character and an antagonist to the Druze. The Ad-Darazi itself starts saying he is considered an heretic by the Druze. So I simply removed the second paragraph that says that Ad-Darazi is one of the seven prophets of the Druze, but it has been added three times back to the article, so I am just leaving this here for posterity so other people who stumble upon such blatant mistake in the Article's lead in the future will know they are not the only ones who laughed at it, but sometimes Wikipedia users like to keep Wikipedia wrong.
