"Islams?"

Legion isn't half the "man" he used to be.

As usual there is minimal detail, are they Salifi or Sufi?

I read that Dearborn Muslims are mostly Shia, Hamtramck are mostly Sunni, and Minneapolis are also mostly Sunni.

Sufism is more of a denominator for a specific approach to Islam. This approach can be found in the teachings of Sunni as well as Shia. Check the site of the Halal Monk for conversations with different spiritual leaders and artists of the Muslim world. Some of them are rooted in the Sufi tradition but sometimes they're Sunni, sometimes they're Shia.

Yes that's true but it is also about dancing, singing, literature and poetry. The whirling Dervishes are Sufi. They also believe in non-violence so terrorism is totally shunned.

Needless to say that Salifists hate them and at times have resorted to extreme violence against them.

They're polar opposites. Salafists don't want anybody to have fun.
