Sufism: Introductory Clips

Studying Sufism?

Here are a couple of introductory clips from Oprah Winfrey and one from the Religion and Ethics News Weekly.

The first comes from her series, Belief, and  the second comes from her other series,  Super Soul Sunday.

The Religion and Ethics News Weekly has a an excellent short segment  on Sufism here. Reporter, Deryl Davis, discusses the attacks on Sufism from Muslim fundamentalists and talks to scholars like Coleman Barks who has translated many of Rumi's Sufi poems and who here explains Sufi beliefs and the meaning of whiling dervishes.
