| #3 Sufi cast as Rats? Hardly. The Sufi are far less likely to be violent. There are exceptions, but in general Sufi is one of the less virulent and violent forms of Islam and has a large amount of inner focus and some pacifism. It is certainly a better one for the West to deal with, than Shia fundamentalism or Salaffih and Wahabbih. It is no small wonder the Iranian mullah wish to demolish them, the Sufi are a direct threat to the Mullahs by competing as an alternative for the Shia fascistic version of Islam. |
