The man in the article (al Kholy) is supposed to be the highest-ranking sufi shaykh in Alexandria, but he has no problem sitting in a cafe where Western music is playing? Unbelievable. This kind of thing is what gives salafis fuel to use against tasawwuf, and true sufis who are strict on shariah get caught in the crossfire.
