Could you explain what is a sh'ia sufi, specifcally, compared with say a Mawlawi Sufi?
Quote:Alevism -like sufism- is has a panthesitic nature.
From whence did you get the notion that Sufism is pantheistic? That is most certainly not the understanding I got from Indries Shah Sayed ('The Sufis') from my own studies into Sufism, (specifically Sufi lodges in the Atlas Mountains) nor from personal association with a Sufi in London,who belonged to a lodge there. Of course some Sufis may well be pantheists,but pantheism is not a core belief in Sufism,if indeed there is such a thing..
