Like, how can you be a good Muslim & align yourself with the Sunnis, who massacred the Prophet Muhammad's grandson like that??? But I'm not into beating myself with barbed chains & cutting myself with swords in memory of him, either.
Then, I got into the Isma'ilis, Hasan ibn Sabbah, and all of that. That was an interesting subject.
