They are suicidally narcissistic, incapable of dealing with reality without projecting their own ideology onto every policy decision.

As far as Sufism goes, the only individual I knew (through the Internet only) who claimed to be a Sufi, described himself as Sufi-lite. He was a member of The Theosophical Society and followed what could be described as the One World Spirituality espoused by the U.N. and enabled by the Lucis Trust, etc. It was actually because of his ideas and the fact that the U.N. is so blatantly pro-Arab (Islamic/not Christian) that I started studying Islam.

It's hard to stay hopeful about the survival of the West after viewing Allahpundit's post on "Palestinian zombies run child-bomber PSA" and then viewing this interview. The good news is that Mr. Gartenstein-Ross finds some positive reception for his book among some moderate American muslims. The bad news is I have to hear about Palestinian child-bomber recruitment TV spots on a political blog instead of via ABC, NBC, CNN, or Fox. Perhaps Michelle can do something about the "Fox" part of the problem. I hope so. ….allowing a little time for the sarcasm to wear off….

Why are you wasting bandwidth on this stuff? You have upset me. Now I have to go take a supplemental dose of soma.

While a number of hippie "converts" to Islam today who think they are Muslims (but actually practice almost none of it--for example, actress Ellen Burstyn) and act moderate, identify themselves as "Sufi," it bears almost no resemblance to Sufi Islam. Real Sufi'ism is anything but "a very liberal form of Islam." Just ask Saladin. Anyone who refers to Sufism as "a very liberal form of Islam" is actually quite ignorant on Islam and very uninformed about its past. Andrew Bostom and Robert Spencer would agree with me on this point, as both have written on it, as have I. A recent Wall Street Journal column made the same points as well.
