Will you resist Sufism? Rumi? Is there only the Islam of the Wahabbi and the (physical) Jihadis? And what about (sorry) evangelical Zionists, who would see Palestinians wiped from the face of the Holy Land?

Amen. Thank you for the encouraging word. May we all have the courage to resist whatever is contrary to the lordship of Christ and his kingdom.

This happens so often with Abrahamics, the inability to acknowledge there is truth, particularly spiritual truth, outside the confines of a particular dogma. In this sense, you are committing the same sin your fellow Muslim Abrahamics are committing. It's like you're shouting at a mirror. I have to second David Simpson, are you gonna resist the Sufis too? They are quite often perennialists. The Buddhists? The Hindus? The Taoists? Spirituality is about harmony in the end, and while it is sometimes necessary to choose cacophony, you have to be damn sure you tried very hard to achieve harmony before being allowed to choose cacophony. Big lesson of the Mahabharata.
