I decided to change the name to Islamic Discussion Thread so it can be easier to abbreviate and imply all aspects of Islam in one word. Pls forgive me.

A Disclaimer on the Sunni-Sufi Part. "Sufism" is not a sect so much as Islamic Mysticism/Esotericism, historically known as Tasawwuf. Traditionally it and it's practices were recognized as normal, a part of Sunni Islam. But in recent times, Sunnis who follow the Sufi Practices and those who don't recognize or follow them have become increasingly separate in how they define themselves (in the West that seems to be the case. In other countries not so much)

Anyway, because of the contemporary controversy around it, I put Sunni-Sufi as a separate option from other Sunnis.

Well, yes. My family has been more Kejawen and less Islam, though Kejawen has Islam.

I thought Islam was about worshiping Allah, not about worshiping tombs and Imaams and cursing the Prophet's Companions and wifes.
