By the way, I have never heard of Nakhsbandi dergah of Shaykh Abdul Baki ( DB) in London. I went many times to London and never met any Turkish mureed of that shaykh. All I know that
there are mureeds of a Manchester based Pakistani nakhsbandi shaykh in London. Besides, in London you can also find many mureeds of a Cyprus based shaykh.

We're all over the place, we just lie low for tax reasons =) Seriously, my Shaykh is very, very low-profile. People generally find him the old-fashioned way - through word of mouth, decades of seeking, or through a dream. Don't think I've ever met a mureed who "read about him on the internet".

Zakir tax, eh - well, I guess they have to compensate for the zakir's dramatically low contribution to the local GDP somehow - no excessive consumption of any kind. And of course the most advanced zakirs don'T even use electricity - they use their hearts for lighting their way at night =)
