For some reason I was consideing this today. How long do you think they have been planning this?
I suspect that even the left was a little blindsided but they are rising to the challenge and have become the apologists supreme for radical Islam.
Rauf is a Sufi, always considered the "safe" form of Islam for Western intellectuals (Prince Charles is a sufi) and one that was harmless because in 100% Muslim countries, Sufis are regarded as heretics. But Sufis are all involved with the marabitun movement, the same one that recruited the Oxford intellectuals, the leaders of the Basque separatist movement ETA, and a host of others in English speaking countries and Latin America.
Sufism is clearly the Trojan horse.
When and if that happens, look out, because there are hordes of Christians In Name Only as well as Jews without Judaism who will flock to the new faith along with the mass of spiritualism freaks who have no religion other than themselves. If I'm right, it's decades away, but it fits nicely with some other prognostications that are far better known than mine. Particularly since Sufis could work hand in hand with Turkey to recreate a new Turkish dominated Ottoman Empire encompassing everything from the Middle East to China given the Muslim nature of the 'stans' that were formerly part of the Soviet Union.
