I've noticed over the years that the users on this forum who espouse perennialist and modernist nonsense tend to list themselves as Malikis. Anyone have any insight as to why this might be the case? Just an interesting trend I noticed.

In Europe, Northern and Southern America, generally "Sufi" perennialists are linked to North-African turuq (following the example laid down by Guénon, Schoun, etc.), and thus have some kind of "link" with the Maliki madhhab, which is dominant there, and is strictly linked to Shadhili and Darqawi turuq (as well as others).

Unfortunately, they only claim to follow this fiqhi madhhab, but don't follow the Islamic Sunni 'Aqidah of Imam Malik (rahimahullah) and his students and the Maliki scholars.
