Title: Beware - Sufism for Tourists
Product review: I agree with the review of Umm Zaid below. I practise and studyerfan (sufism). Personally I find the portrayals of Sufi practise from this film verging on the offensive.Reviewer: Umm Zaid (NY, NY) - See all my reviewsCringe worthy view of tasawwuf ("Islamic mysticism," Sufism) in Iran. Sensationalistic and exploitative, especially when it comes to the portrayal of the female dervishes, with the same tired errors and misunderstandings one finds in any mediocre Orientalist work on the topic. Anyone wanting to see the face of the Qadiri tariqa (the one featured in most of the film) would be much better off reading English translations of the works of Sheikh Abdal Qadir al Jilani.
