Read a little about him a while back; apparently an eccentric Sufi mystic, to say the least, but virtually an infidel in the eyes of jihadis.
Kashmiri Shias, with their traditions of shrines and even veneration of women, are not loved by jihadis.
Not that odd when you consider the Hindu yogis on mountaintops.
Thank you for the information.
Back in the 70s, some Americans were attracted to Sufism - probably in many cases after having done so many drugs that being afflicted with vertigo was pretty normal to them, or at least judging by the person I knew who was involved in it. It was definitely not-your-Saudi´s Islam, in any case.
