Thanks Ginny,
For a balanced and objective view of sufism,I would request members
interested in the truth,the whole truth and nothing but the truth to point
their browers at the following sites:-
1.Sufism in Traditional Islam:-
http://www.masud.co.uk/ISLAM/nuh/sufitlk.htm

2.UNDERSTANDING TASAWWUF(SUFISM):-
http://www.irfi.org/articles/articles_51_100/understanding_tasawwuf.htm

3.Sufism and Shariah;THE COMPATIBILITY TEST;-
http://www.haqq.com.au/~salam/sufishar/index.html

4.Refutation of Bilal Philips:-
http://www.alsunnahfoundation.org/philips.html

5.Refutation of wahhabism:-
http://www.amislam.com/fajr.htm

After this LONG Journey,people will be better informed about the status of
sufism within traditional Islam and not the jaundiced view of Islam some
people want us to ACCEPT OR BElIEVE .I would suggest to such people to visit
classical texts written by traditional Scholars such as "Reliance of the
Traveller and al-Maqasid".Check it out:-
http://www.masud.co.uk/ISLAM/nuh/reliance.htm
When all is said and done,Islam is a very broad Umbrella that can accomodate
different point of views,hence the Four Madhhab within Sunni Islam and of
course Shia Islam.Saudi Arabia can use all their oil wealth to propagate
their brand of Islam,as they are ferociously doing at the moment around the
world,but they will not succeed because there are many people-Muslims and
non-muslims who still value the truth.
Live and let's live.
The best of salam,
musa.
