Shabbat Shalom

I'm a regular visitor to Joe Katzman's Good News Saturdays at Winds of Change. Mostly, I go there to read T L James's regular series of posts on Sufi Wisdom.

As terrorist Islam does its best to discredit the religion, it's important to remember that there are other voices within the faith. One such is the Sufis, a branch of Islamic mystics with roots in many religious traditions. The lessons of Sufism are often communicated through humorous stories and mystical or romantic poetry.

This morning, James once again features one of the many stories told around the figure of Nasrudin, whose exploits I'm coming to regard as a kind of spiritual soap opera - in today's episode, Nasrudin gets burgled.
