On a sidenote, my mother spent a lot of years in a Druze region in Lebanon.

To be honest, I don't now about Allawis that much except that at the begining the sect was considered to be a cult not only by Sunnis, but also Shias.
An interesting Article published in the BBC which I cannot recall its title, talked about how the Syrian government ,which is predominently Allawis, are encouraging common sunni practices in order to bring back the Allawi sect to normal Muslim stream and to gain more acceptance in the Syrian sunni society.

Allawis of Syria and Turkmen Alevis are totally different sects in beliefs. But they are both Muslims. Anatolian Alevis are called so because of their beliefs about Hz. Ali, not because they're any related with the Syrian ones. They are originally Kizilbash and Bektashi Turkmens.
And Anatolian Alevi sect is a distinct sect of Islam, not only a cult.

and some of those etnich not Muslim at all, such as Badui,Balinese,Dayak,Timorese and some etnich divide between Muslim and Christian such as Ambonese,
but yeap Most etnich with biggest number are Muslim though such as Betawi,Sunda,etc
here some pics of etnichs in Indonesia whom are almost 100 % Muslim
Sundanese,The Sundanese people (33 million strong in 1998) inhabits the province of West Java and Banten.,here Sundanese in weding ceremony
Betawi,The Betawi people (3.5 million strong) inhabits the DKI Jakarta province and its surrounding suburbia

Minang,"Every Minang belongs to his of her mothers descendance, and the ricefields as well as the longhouses (rumah gadang) belong to the females." Western Sumatera is the habitat of about four milion Minangkabau (normally called Minang), an energic population which is known all over Indonesia for their strong relations, it's sharp mind of trading, hot kitchen and strong believe in islam.
The Minangkabau are organised in female relates clans (suku), and in every village, a number of suku has power. Traditions told there were only four clans, but over the time they got separated, and now there are about twenty-five, everyone with it's own name. In every village a few suku havepower. The suku, again, are parted in different descendance groups or paruik (lit. uterus), which consist of descendants from a single ancestral mother. The suku and descendance groups were only allowed to marry people outside their own clan of group of descendance. This relational structure is no longer important for younger Minangkabau, especially those who moved outside the area, and is slowly disappearing.

It's the opening of Islamic Women Olympics...Which was held in Tehran last Friday.
Although...I don't know why it's called Islamic when non-Islamic countries are participating too.

Yeah, well the US and Germany did that since they have a lot of immigrants.

Did Turkey participated in Islamic Women Olympics?
Do women have to cover their hair in Islamic Olympics?
