Sufism::Islam as Taoism::Confucianism
Mohammed himself would undoubtably be in the Sufi camp these days.
Shi'ite fundamentalists persecute & have nearly eradicated Sufis.
The primary reason given is that Sufism does not condemn homosexuality.
The real reason is they have primitive old world minds, their children are brainwashed from about age four to have allegiance only to the tribe & treat all non-tribe members as heathen animals; (they consider it a favor & their godly duty to kill them) & it's all about a battle over oil resources & money. People are used as resources, as pawns, to carry out a hateful agenda. It's an age-old formula for control: create a wedge issue & divide & conquer.
I support extermination of all Shi'ite leaders. Too bad this is politically not feasible because our double-dealing leaders have been in bed with those hatemongers for over a generation.
I know you are young & are not familiar with the history of Islam completely. It is a beautiful religion, but politics has corrupted it, just as in Christianity & Judaism.
