dr. ati railing against tasawwuf...seems like any other day...

Here's a simple measure to differentiate between fake Sufi and true Sufi: who is adherent to the shari'ah, even on minor issues? Who is lax on shari'ah, even on minor issues?

Well , lets do onething. Pick any Sufi who you think is fake and mention his acts/words for which you think that he is a fake Sufi. I will try to prove from the classical Sufi texts , written by the Sufis who are deemed as real by the deobandis that the person whom you are calling a fake Sufi is perfectly justified in his acts/words. Kindly pick a "fake" Sufi and lets start with it.You need to know that the Sufi tradition is so diverse that it can accommodate almost anything.
