Faouzi Skali will be coming.<BR/><BR/>You must understand that the Boutchichiya is becoming increasingly less "traditionalist" because it is progressingly opening up to the islamic mainstream French population, that often see sufism as a heresy.<BR/>As a faqir pointed out once, "Avant, le soufisme était une voie de la réalisation ; maintenant, c'est une voie de la justification !"<BR/><BR/>Could you translate that, Mr Sedgwick ?<BR/><BR/><BR/>By the way, I'm still ready to translate Against the Modern World into French. I've got plenty of time (I'm a french school teacher !).<BR/><BR/>Bye,<BR/><BR/>RiordanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
