it’s also an incredible generalization, Hallaj you could arguably call an ‘insurgent’ but there was emphatically no “camoflague” involved there. In later centuries the kind of sentiments you’ve quoted are tropes and clichés

many persian sufis actually state their beliefs about god in their ‘prose’ writings, which while far more complex and variegated than this silly idea of “humanity storming the heavens,” generally follow some permutation of wahdat al-wujud

You are most probably an Islamist. Hallaj was extremely careful to not reveal his philosophical alliances until his return from the third hajj when he was under the influence of Babouyeh and Nobakhti took a more confrontational stance.

that’s a funny response— since your reading is an unqualified projection of your own beliefs my response must be a form of “islamism” lol. If by Babouyeh you mean al-Qummi, he was at most a toddler by the time of Hallaj’s death, so his influence must have been quite supernatural
