Contrary to popular belief, the Sufis do not reject violent jihad. Their towering figure, al-Ghazali, taught it, and Sufis have been at the vanguard of the Chechen jihad.

Zanzibar: “We rounded them up because we suspect they were engaged in homosexuality”

Tanzania: Muslim cleric says “there is a thick line between Islam and terrorism”
