Not by a long shot. The rulers of the Ottoman Empire were the Sultan, in political matters, and the Caliph, in spiritual matters. Shiites (shia) are a sect of Islam vigorously opposed by the Ottoman Empire and were often seen as a fifth column with loyalties to the Ottoman Empire's rival: the Safavid Persian Empire.
