FAQ Page - Information about Ethnic Qarsherskiyans and the Qarsherskiy Tribe.
Are Qarsherskiyans Sunni or Shi’a?
The Qarsherskiyan tribe is governed mostly by Aliyite Muslims, mainly, but the general population is diverse and even has non-Muslims. Sunni Muslims and other sects can run for office and are respected and there are many Ismaili and Jafari Shiite politicians in the Qarsherskiyan tribe, despite it having a Aliyite-majority governance and law system. Alawites (not to be confused with Alevis or Aliyites) are facing lots of discrimination since May of 2023 and no Alawites are in political office due to riots and angry crowds.
Does the Qarsherskiyan tribe implement Sharia Law?
Shariah Law isn’t what you may think, there are different interpretations of Sharia Law. It isn't interpreted the same by all Muslims and isn't an evil or inherentlt bad thing that will harm American citizens and politics. The Aliyite Muslims of the Qarsherskiyam tribe do implement the Sharia, yes. The Qarsherskiyan Aliyite interpretation of Sharia Law (Schariyya AL-Qarsherskiy) mainly uses the Quran more than the Sunnah and Hadith and gives equal rights to all biological gender identities and promotes peace and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. and the Ahlulbayt A.S.
Does the Ethnic Qarsherskiyan tribe allow non-Muslims?
Yes! Many tribal members who are non-Muslims live on land where American government oversight is limitted, wherr Qarsherskiyan Aliyite interpretations of Sharia law are the norm, comfortably and the Jews and Christians are respected as the prophet Muhammad SAW taught Muslims to treat them. They are free to practice their religion and run for political office. Muslims in the Qarsherskiyan tribe often treat each other worse than they do non-Muslims, often. Sunni and Shi’a who normally get along sometimes break into shouting matches and Qadiani/Ahmadiyya Muslims often are chased away from job opportunities. Alawites are often scolded and shunned in broad daylight for percieved worshipping of Imam Ali (A.S.).

Are the Ethnic Qarsherskiyan tribe a real people group?
Yes, Ethnic Qarsherskiyan people do exist and are a real community. The confusion some people have comes from the fact that Ethnic Qarsherskiyan people are triracial. Ethnic Qarsherskiyan people are part Native American but are mixed-race/multiracial and are not a federally recognized tribe as Ethnic Qarsherskiyan people typically don't meet blood quantum requirements to be considered as Native American, and identify as a triracial or Creole community.
