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....

LOl...yes the unislamic practices.

I was responding to a quote in the article by the Sufi who said "That was so silly. Yes we expect them to accuse us of heresy because the Salafis are single-minded people,” said al-Kholy. “But as for the American support..."

I found that protestation just a little unconvincing, especially in the light of my own research in this area.
