I'm doing research on Alevis and I am a bit confused on the differences between these groups. Apparently Alevis and Alawites are not the same thing but they share many beliefs in common, what distinguishes them?
The wikipedia series and pages on Alevis seems like an amazing source, but it leaves me a bit confused. What is the relation between Alevism and the Bektashi order/tarikat? While I think I understand Alevi history, can someone ELI5 me where Alevism falls within the Shia/Sunni split? Is it more accurate to call it a folk religion?
