Doesn’t Islam have less than half a dozen denominations?
It’s so odd that we Christians have splintered so much. It sure doesn’t seem to strengthen us.
I didn’t think that Islam had any central authority, so that would mean that one mosque could be a bit different from the one down the block in terms of doctrine. So, the answer is ‘maybe?’.

I think there are more, but there aren’t nearly as many as we have among Christians!

True, but then again we don’t generally issue death fatwas against new denominations either.
