There are no different Islams. There is only one Islam: Muhammad's Islam. This is the basis on which all "different traditions" of Islam are founding upon. Be Islamic in the way Muhammad wanted it to be, and you are true Islamic. Reject some of his demands and regulations, and you are not Islmaic, but free to be killed if not obeying. Being sunni or shia is no issue here.
That'S what many Islamic people living in the West do not want to realise when embracing some of the Western rights and liberties, at the cost of some of the old Muhammedan practices. Muhammad did not know "some yes, some no." He only knew "all or nothing at all".
Tolerance was not really a shining characteristic of this man.
