I always thought Turkish Muslims were the equivalent of liberal non-denominational American Christians

Nah sunni would be like modern protestantism. If sunni is the less jihadist one.

The most jihadi class of sect is Salafis which is like an extreme sunnism, there is no equivalent of salafis for shi'ites, it is rarely extreme

This is all going over my head. Orthodox and catholic are both the "religious extreme" christians. Whereas Protestants are mostly megachurch lgbtqiap "christians".

Sufism is more like Kaballah since they're both mystical and esoteric rather than protestantism

This is surprisingly accurate. Sufism is more like gnosticism if anything though
