I certainly do not soften my unforgiving stand on Islam, and I would like to talk with this man about why he still wants to be seen as Muslim, when he finds it to be so troublesome - Sufism never was accepted by the main branch of Muhammad's Islam, and even often was supressed or even persecuted, nevertheless stories like this add some needed "reason-over-emotion". For people like this man - and for critics like me as well.
