To be an Ismaili is to be part of a community; many Ismailis may be more a member than a believer. 'Ismailism' is not just their religion on a Friday, it's their identity all week. Though their faith may be threadbare, Ismaili immigrants to the West rarely lose their Ismaili identity. This strong common identity is forged around a supposedly unswerving loyalty to the Aga Khan but maintained by a sense of active participation in a self-sufficient community.
For an Ismaili, community means a needed but often inescapable bond.
