The Druze consider themselves a sect of Islam but other Muslims don't consider them Muslims at all. It's similar to the relationships other groups (for example, the Mormons or Messianic Jews) have had with more mainstream religions.

Lately, they have been allied with the Maronites are haven't posed any problem in the region. There are also Druze in Israel, and they've assimilated quite well. They serve in the IDF.
