To those who say "sufism is apolitical" or "no politics," i respond: "no politics is politics." look at the very old african sufi tradition, the asian sufi tradition, or the north african sufi tradition. then you get it and understand what sufism is all about wisdom, courage and resistance.

The enormous social change involved in a sexual revolution is basically a matter of altered consciousness, the exposure and elimination of social and psychological realities underlying political and cultural structures. we are speaking, then, of a cultural revolution, which, while it must necessarily involve the political and economic reorganization traditionally implied by the term revolution, must go far beyond this as well.

Spiritual Deeds Flesh
I was convinced that worship at its best is a social experience with people of all levels of life coming together to realize their oneness and unity under god. whenever the church, consciously or unconsciously, caters to one class it loses the spiritual force of the "whosoever will, let him come, doctrine and is in danger of becoming a little more than a social club with a thin veneer of religiosity."
