 Islam is the religion with the largest community of followers in the country, where most of the population is Muslim, of whom over 70% belong to the Sunni branch of Islam, predominantly following the Hanafi fiqh.Over 20% of the population belongs to the Alevi faith, thought by most of its adherents to be a form of Shia Islam; a minority consider it to have different origins (see Ishikism, Yazdanism).Closely related to Alevism is the small Bektashi community belonging to a Sufi order of Islam that is indigenous to Turkey, but also has numerous followers in the Balkan peninsula.
