On a November evening at Sayyida Mazoon mosque in Muscat, worshippers from different Muslim sects ascended the polished marble steps to pray together at sunset. Respect for other religious sects is not an accident. “At the college we have people from all nationalities and all different sects, from East Asia, East Africa, North Africa. And we have professors from different sects -- not only Ibadi,” he told AFP. As worshippers of different sects began lining up side by side, the imam excused himself and went to lead the sunset prayer.
