Once Nationalism takes a hold we need a special council investigating the phenomena of self-described Anglo-Saxon Muslim 'traditionalists.' Mandatory castration has its obvious benefits.https://twitter.com/NorthernWilayah/status/1054897557342773254 …

It's not a separation from exoteric/esoteric since Sufism is a distinct branch of Islam. Unless you're claiming to me Mohammad was a Sufi mystic from Arabia? I'll presuppose the secular understanding that Sufism emerged either with foreign influence or as an evolution.

Ah, but why would you take the secular understanding as a presupposition? Sufis proud themselves on their meticulously recorded chains of tradition back to the Prophet, no?

Yeah & Joseph Smith believed his tradition was handed down to him by an extant American Israelite soldier. If I don't presuppose secularist views, then why not just assume Mormonism? This is a problem of all revealed religions. Basic epistemology- where do I start from?

Study the doctrine, see if it is orthodox
