Default Do Druze and Baha'is read the Koran or they got their own book?

Are Druze and Baha'is Muslims, or they are different?
Guys are you sure? because I heard that Druze are Islamities Muslims.
I heard that Druze believe in Muhammed and they are called Ishamelite Muslims.

Druze are different, Baha'i is totally different, and they are persecuted by Muslims. Both groups have their own Spiritual Teachings and books.

No they re not Muslims, Baha'i is a faith of it's own and the Druze are closer to Orthodox Eastern Christianity.

Druze are Muslim, although in Israel they are defined as an ethnicity. They use both the Quran and their own religious literature. Their understanding of Shariah is somewhat akin to the 12-er Shiah school.

The Bahai are not Muslim, although they do read the Quran. Bahai is a new religion, which acknowledges the truth of Islam and Christianity and Judaism (and some others), but has its own scriptures, devotional practices, religious law and community structures that are in some ways different to those of other religions. For instance, the communities are headed by democratically elected assemblies rather than by trained priests or scholars.
