Ismahaan
Islam is Islam, I never said I was or was not a Sufi, but I know one thing: Sunnis/Shia could sure learn a thing about peace from the Sufis.

I knew it.

You knew what?

[American-Suufi]

Let Allah SWT judge others. Muslims should respect other Muslims unless his or her Imaan is weak. Not a single Muslim here has a ticket to heaven, May Allah SWT guide us ALL.

Bahaism, Ismaili, Druze and other sects are also from Iran. The other thing, Suufism originated from Basra, an important Shia city.

"Sufism is generally believed to have originated among Muslims near Basra in modern Iraq, though there is a history of Sufism in Transoxania dating from shortly after the time of Muhammad."

Is this a can of worms, or what?

Check out the criticisms of the Deobandis by the various sects in the body of the text.

Influences

Some researchers find influences in Sufism from pre-Islamic and non-Islamic schools of mysticism and philosophy such as Neoplatonism. Some of these perspectives originate from the synthesis of Persian civilization with Islam, an emphasis on spiritual aspects of Islam, and the incorporation of ideas and practices from other mysticisms into Islam. The same has been said of Buddhism and ancient Egyptian spiritual practices. However, most Muslim theologians disagree with this.

Thanks, Eternauta.

I think much of that is what I know as the "Practice of the Presence of God". Many of those practices transcend sectarian boundaries.
