re: #139 pat

I trust you all found the essay on Sufism “enlightening”.

Yes, I read that when it came out. You could do the same thing with Catholicism. There’s the IRA, Catholics cooperation in the holocaust, the inquisition, statements from popes, etc. However the fact remains that Sufis are generally much more moderate and tolerant than over versions of Islam. When Chanel 4 was investigating radical islam in the UK for “Undercover Mosque” they employed Sufis for the investigative work. You need to look at what’s going on in the real world, not just selected quotes and facts from webpage.
