deviant sufis want to destroy tawheed in s. somalia.

[ModerateMuslim]

Sufi clerics in Somalia have declared their support for the new unity government led by a moderate Islamist.

The clerics spoke Wednesday through a group of adherents of the Sufi order, who recently took up arms against al-Shabab in Somalia. The spokesman for Ahlu-Sunna Wal-Jama'a, Sheik Abduqadir Mohamed Soomow, for sponsoring last year's peace talks in Djibouti.

The cleric says Sufi scholars are calling on all Somalis to support the national unity government....
Sufism, a mystic form of Islam, has centuries old roots in Somalia but is considered heretical....
.

Al-Shabab grew powerful as an anti-Ethiopian insurgent group and took control of many parts of central and southern Somalia.

Sheik Sharif.....is believed to be sympathetic to Ahlu-Sunna Wal-Jama'a and its cause.

Sharif is a follower of Qutubi philosophy, which technically makes him a "hardliner" himself.
