Very nice. I think more promotion of Sufi thought might mitigate the Islamophobia running rampant right now.
In a movie called Monsieur Ibrahim Omar Shariff on his deathbed comforts his young friend by saying "I'm not dying, I go to join the Immensity"
I loved that line.

This site is not really Sufi in nature, although its founder is the Grandson of Hazrat Inayat Khan. It is an interfaith forum, there are members of every faith which discuss commonalities that each share on their path to God.

Also, Islamophobia really does need to stop, but alas, as is always the case, fighting against something always causes it to grow - Islam is the fastest growing religion today!
People need to realize that every "prophet" or "avatar" or however you wish to call them is merely an enlightened man trying to enlighten you. Picking one and arguing that he is the best is ignorant and petty. We fight wars over which figure best represents what God is, and thus prove we have no idea at all what God really is. If people actually sat down with the texts of other faiths, they would see just how similar each really is!
