Depends on your political view

Dear B.N.Gururaj,

I think you talk from a certain perspective which is grounded in the political myth created by the rightwing politcal groups. Sufi do not only think about Muslims but about humanity.The sufis i stay with are not comparable with your version and views about sufis. I think you need to look beyond your political views and see the kind respect they generate for human beings irrespective of thier shades.I am infact following the Mansur sort of Sufi...which is under threat from the Salafis.....These sufis believe in pluralism. They has massive spiritual power,yet they still do not discriminate and consider life sacred becuase it is created by the Lord.
