Yes and we all know that it is pure nonsense to suggest that some Sufi's are sponsored by the US/Great Britain, dont we?

I mean the Sufi Muslim Council is not really funded by the CIA as suggested by oneof these American Ambassedors like Craig Murray! No preposterous!!

Or that the Rand Corporation- a US Govt think tank has called for quote "The Reformation of Islam" by promoting Sufism as an alternative to Islam.

Or even more unbelievable...the hard right neocon think tank the Nixon Center published a document by Zeyno Baran which encouraged using Sufism as a means to attack Islam.

We all know they are neither heretics nor support the US..... right?

brother, who are you talking to?....

my reason to post this article is to show how there are several deviant groups in egypt. not that if one is bad the other must be good. the world is obviously not black and white, but several shades of gray...

if i was trying to defend the deviant sufis, i would not have posted this article. as there are several hints of unislamic practices in this very article....
