User:Dhakaiyas, Unsourced. Please provide reliable sources for your claims. Origi commentary has no place on Wikipedia. On a side note, seriously misguided "Sufi" practices that don’t follow Sharia are very common, especially in Bangladesh, which explains why ulamas might oppose them in principle. You seem to have taken an issue with "Wahabbis/Deobandis", and their perceived attitude towards Sufism. Well, then substantiate your case by writing a balanced review, citing reliable sources.

===Overview===
Since its inception and even well before that, Bangladesh has a long standing tradition of Islam being the dominant religion of the area. The overwhelming majority of Muslims in Bangladesh ascribe to the Sunni sect of Islam, though there is a minority of Shia Muslims of various sects located primarily in the major cities, such as Dhaka and Chittagong. <ref>{{cite book |last1=Eaton |first1=Richard M. |title=The Rise of Islam and the Bengal frontier, 1204 - 1760 |date=1994 |publisher=Oxford Univ.

Bangladesh has always been sunni since its conversion to Islam. Among the early sects shia have always had some presence in Bangladesh but there is no mention of significant mutazilite or kharijite presence in the records. The shias, who were viewed as followers of Abdullah Ibn Saba, were never accepted into the mainstream of Islam. Sunni Islam or Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat considers deviant sects to be "munafiq murtad" or hypocrite apostates and are considered more distant from Islam than those who openly deny Islam. Among the later sects wahhabis and deobandis are notable. Wahhabis, who were considered a deviant sect like the kharijites and mushabbiha because of extremism, denial of taqlid and ziyarat, anthropomorphism, etc have been presented as orthodox muslims by the related deobandi sect and many have accepted it because deobandis do not openly admit that they are not sunnis to new followers and their control of the Islamic Foundation has been backed by India and other powers. Even then Bangladesh remains a largely sunni majority country different from how they are often presented as either wahhabi deobandis or half hindu syncretic atheists/marxists who worship graves and many Bangladeshis consider it the reason behind why Bangladeshis are often persecuted.
