You idiot. That was no cat. That was your Islamofascist roommate. You were counting sheep and, well, he mistook you for one. Fortunately for you he was the size of a cat.
Sufists are ascetics and mystics and not nearly so violence prone. They’re even said to have incorporated elements of Christian monasticism into the beliefs of their sect.
But, here we have several at Gitmo, so they’re apparently believed to have been complicit in something. Subsidizing the less-bad guys in the hopes of changing the more-bad guys doesn’t look like it’s panning out.
For maximum Guantanamo paranoia, on camp movie night there should be a mid-night showing of Inception.
Rather poor writing, it leaves you thinking the Guantanamo inmate is a follower of Sufi mysticism, yet it never actually states that directly.
