Muslims: What's your opinion on Ismailis?

I've heard some nasty rumours about the Shia Imami Ismailis, like "They're not REAL Muslims." What do you think? What is a REAL Muslim?

    Well, according to the Sunnis, they're the "Real Muslims".

    According to the Sufi, they're the "Real Muslims".

    According to the Shi'a, they're the "Real Muslims".

    According to the Ahmediyyas, they're the "Real Muslims".

    And the list goes on and on.

    So, your guess is as good as mine.

    However, on the Haj, the Sunnis did behead a Shi'a pilgrim accusing him of crapping in his robe.

    They also attacked Shi'a pilgrims recently, if you don't remember.

    They also seize and burn your copy of the Qu'ran if it's not the official Wahabi one and give you 200 lashes for that offense of daring to bring in the forbidden editions to Saudi Arabia, if they are in a good mood. [I'm sorry, but, you say there's only One, Unchanged, Original Qu'ran, don't you? So, how do they tell the difference? And, what are the Qalun, the Hafs, the Warsh and so on? And the riyayatein?]

    So,... isn't that "Real Muslim" behavior?

    I don't know enough about them but I know that they are extremists and don't follow the correct rules of Islam , they are misguided by man's rules..

    In brief:

    The real Muslim is the one who is descent, doesn't hurt the others, just, simple, honest, love the others, helpful.... and of course who does the orders of worshipping God by faith ....
