Why do I say by its claimants, or those who claim to be sufi? Because instead of reforming and filtering out those elements which crept into sufism, they took a quietist, pacifist, apologetic approach. Many got defensive at the statement that Tasawwuf needed some "filtering". Now look what's happened. There are so many whack jobs out there trying to pass as sufi sheikhs with tariqas (esp. in Indian Subcontinent, and africa) that you almost can't blame the Salafis for their reactionist approacn. This breaks my heart because I love Tasawwuf. What sunni in their right mind wouldn't? Is it not Ihsan? Knowing the sublties of the nafs? Travelling the path to Allah? May Allah guide us to the straight path.
