The word Sufi is most likely to be derived from the Arabic word "soof", meaning wool. This is because of the Sufi habit of wearing woolen coats...1

Anyone who wears a woolen coat in desert climes is obviously two humps short of a whole camel.

"...to find divine love and knowledge through direct personal experience of God

"...the experience of mystical union or direct communion with ultimate reality, and the belief that direct knowledge of God, spiritual truth, or ultimate reality can be attained through subjective experience (as intuition or insight)"

This is exactly what experience has taught me and what I believe.

If Muslims--or anyone else for that matter--find God, in this manner or otherwise, they will know that Islamic fundamentalism and fanaticism, the Sharia, and the brutal aspects of Islam are ungodly and that the Koran is no more the divine word of God than is anything else. The cosmos is God's holy scripture. The truth is there for everyone to find.

Is that a Bactrian or Thracian camel? What's the airspeed of an African swallow carrying a coconut?;^)
