I am an Alevi, AMA

Figured that this would be a good place to share some insight into my religious denomination, which is part of Islam. I am an anatolian Kizilbash-Alevi, the biggest group within Alevism. Other groups include the Bektashi (Babagan, Dedegan), Yaresan (Iran/Iraq), Shabak (Iraq), Aynu Abdal (Xinjiang) and a dozen of Sufi-Groups which originally had an Alevi Background.
