Kurdish Sufis dance and chant in ceremony, feeling safer from militants

"I may just have to eat my words from the last post! Yummm, I will be extremely happy to do this. Below is a wonderful article on one of the major Islamic Sufi groups in Iraq, Iran and globally, al-tariqqa Qadiriyya al-Kasnazani, a group of brothers and sisters I love very dearly. It is so great to see Islamic peacebuilders and lovers of God and Creation to get some media coverage. Truly they are a shining light in a sometimes very dark environment and deeply sad events. May my beloved family in Kurdistan and dear Shaykh al-Kasnazani continue our work in Islamic peacebuilding and have the peace and support to do so. Miriam"
