What major sects of Islam are
not fundamentalist (using the same "literalist" definition used for Christians)?

One more question for ya though tater, there are many many versions and derivatives of islam, several people have said the only real version is the nutty fruitcake fundamentalist version. If you take the two worst fundy versions around how old are they? After all if they are the truest versions they must be amongst the oldest(think about the link with science and knowledgeand its bgalancfe effect against narrow dogma).

I know of no major sects that do not believe in the inerrant Koran, or what I'd call "biblical literalism" if it were Baptists.
I saw a video of a debate where Hitchens (again, lol) quoted a moderate European Imam (swiss?) who was questioned about apostasy, and the Islamic penalty. He tried to deflect saying that it was not pragmatically possible to murder all apostates, but he couldn't say that death was not the ideal, koranic penalty (because it IS). And he was supposed to be hyper moderate.
What major Islamic sects accept evolution? Which say that murdering apostates is wrong?
I'm genuinely curious. I don't doubt there might be some, but what is their total membership compared to the Sunni, Shia, etc?
