[quote]Scholars majority is directly proportional to the majority of general muslims(I guess).But you are right that we are talking authority of majority-of-scholars.There is not much differences amongst sunni scholars on the main issues of the religion like the subject of this forum Sufism.May be not all the scholars follows the Sufism but they recognized it as part of the religion.

Quote:-The differences I have identified are not amongst the general people belonging to these groups, but have been observed from the top scholars of the respective groups. The scholars neither pray in other's mosques (they infact explicitly discourage it), nor do they suggest marrying with others.

Firstly I don’t think it is true picture ,they might prefer to pray in their mosque but they did not discourage general public to pray in other’s mosque neither stop to marring with each others.Yes they stop to marring other than sunnies and also praying in their mosques and people follows it. Secondly even if I assume you are true in saying that then still they are one group under the umbrella of “sunni” having common views on major and also majority of issues of the religion.Sunni is a very common term used by the muslims.I am surprised why you are not accepting them as a one group.

Quote:-The concept of 'majority' which is able to choose from various interpretations, can only be said to exist, when it can be shown that a large group (of scholars) holds common interpretations on all religious matters.

That is what you asking for un-natural and impossible thing.Even this is not the religion expecting from Muslims as well.[/quote]
