Sufism is the mystical order of Islam, and is very broad, but generally is iconized by the whirling dervishes, which perform a spinning dance meant the aid in focusing on the Divine true God. It is inherently a peaceful order.\n\nThere are of course other groups in Sufism that are less acclaimed, and vary greatly in their beliefs, and practices, but generally the focus is on personal Spiritual practice.\n\nThe largest divergence is often in whether or not mystic wayfarers such as themselves need to follow the universally prescribed Divine Law or not. My faith, Baha'i, which believes itself a further succession of all faiths, including Islam, teaches that following the Law is necessary. \n\nI personally understand the interpretation of that Law becomes more perfect, and freeing as Enlightenment occurs, but not be changed so that others would be mislead.\n\nThis same debate occurs in Christianity calling grace what Sufis call mysticism. other faiths have the same debate. I believe in the middle road approach as suggested above.

Hiya, :)\nId be happy to answer your questions.\n\nA) They are fighting in Iraq (The Sunni led terrorists)because they are unhappy that they no longer rule the country as they did under Saddam.\n\nB) The largest Muslim sect in the world is the Sunni sect.\nSufism\n\nC) The following is about Sufism which is also a part of Islam. \n\n\nSufism (Persian: صوفی‌گری Sufi gari, Arabic: تصوف, taṣawwuf) is a mystic tradition of Islam. Practitioners of Sufism, known as Sufis, engage in the pursuit of a direct perception of spiritual truth or God, through mystic practices based on divine love. Sufism differs from other branches of Islam in its esoteric rather than exoteric focus.\n\nThe term Sufism can be used to describe a diverse range of beliefs and practises. Tariqas (Sufi orders) may be associated with Shi'a Islam, Sunni Islam, other currents of Islam, or a combination of multiple traditions. Sufi thought emerged from the Middle East in the eighth century, but adherents are now found around the world. In particular, Indonesia, the most populous Islamic nation in the world, was introduced to Islam through Sufism, and Sufi practises and beliefs are evident in mainstream religious life across the country.\n\nSufism has produced a large body of poetry in Turkish, Punjabi, Urdu and Persian, which notably include the works of Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi, Bulleh Shah, Amir Khusro, as well as numerous traditions of devotional dance, such as Sufi whirling, and music, such as Qawwali.\n\n\n\nA few etymologies for the word Sufi have been suggested.\n\nThe conventional view is that the word originates from Suf (صوف), the Arabic word for wool, implying a cloak and refers to the simple cloaks the early Muslim ascetics wore. But one should also note that not all sufis wear cloaks or clothes of wool.\n\nAnother etymological theory states that the root word of Sufi is the Arabic word saaf (صاف), meaning pure, clean or blank. This etymology refers to the emphasis of Sufism on purity of heart and soul. One must consider that this theory does not hold strong, because it contradicts the root of the word saaf. Strictly speaking, considering Arabic grammar, the word would have been "saafi".\n\nOthers have suggested the origin of the word Sufi is from "Ashab al-Suffa" ("Companions of the Veranda") or "Ahl al-Suffa" ("People of the Veranda"), who were a group of Muslims during the time of the Prophet Muhammad who spent much of their time on the veranda of the Prophet's mosque devoted to prayer. It can also refer to the chosen ones.\n\n\n\nBasic beliefs\nThe central concept in Sufism is love. Dervishes—the name given to initiates of sufi orders—believe that love is a projection of the essence of God to the universe.They believe that God desires to recognize beauty, and as if one looks at a mirror to see oneself, God looks at himself within the dynamics of nature. This is substantiated using the famous Hadith Qudsi (extra-Qur'anic utterance of God): "I was a hidden treasure, and I wanted to be known, so I created Creation." Since they believe that everything is a reflection of God, Sufis try to see the beauty inside the apparently ugly, and to open arms even to what is considered the most evil one. The Sufi conception of divine love is not restricted to what the term "love of God" implies, it also includes human loves with a perspective that views everything a manifestation of God.\n\nThe central doctrine of Sufism, sometimes called Wahdat or Unity, is the Sufi understanding of Tawhid. Put very simply Tawhid states that all phenomena are manifestations of a single reality, or Wujud (being), which is indeed al-Haq (Truth, God). The essence of being/Truth/God is devoid of every form and quality, and hence unmanifest, yet it is inseparable from every form and phenomenon either material or spiritual. It is often understood to imply that every phenomenon is an

The Sufis are fascinating but as far as I understand it, they are Muslim mystics. Mystics come in many different varieties but the Sufis are the Muslim kind.

Some universities publish a list of Aumini on their websites. I would use this as a first point. Alternatively try Friends Reunited but not everyone logs onto that.
