If the graduates from the Madrassas move toward Sufism, I would count that as a very very good trend.

The movement is mostly in the other direction.

Witness Kashmir. When the Islamic Insurgents entered it from Pakistan (Wahabbist, not Sufi) there in 89', women were forced to wear veils, which was uncommon for Kashmiri women to wear until then (Sufi-ism isn't "strict" in the way traditional Islam is).
