In Part III of Chapter 13, Rob and Chris learn about the different types of Muslims and what’s in store for modern Islam. The plotline of the new Guardians of the Galaxy sequel is revealed by the Sunnis and it is not what you expected. Two groups of Shi’ites known as the Seveners and Twelvers believe there are divine imams hiding somewhere in the galaxy and they could be literally anywhere. One of the most influential muslim scholars, Abu-Hamid al-Ghazali, decides to abandon his job and family in an attempt to get closer to God through poverty and his wife says good riddance. Sufis began to organize themselves into spiritual fraternities and their pledges, known as fakir or dervish, were put through some pretty degrading tests. Islam suffered for a while by not accepting Industrialization while the rest of the world passed them by, but then saw a resurgence at the end of WWI as the rest of world’s powers became more and more dependent on their large supply of crude oil. The Muslim calendar is extremely confusing, but that’s just how they like it.
TLDR: I don't bet on much, but I always bet on Hanifites.
