i don't know if u heard about this so called religious movement with is kabal and present in different countries but mostly US ....a lot of stars such as madonna david and victoria beckham or britney spears are belonging to it
i've read an article about it and it's scandalous because it's just lies and money ....they teach us how to read the hand's lines or some other stupid thing but u gotta buy a lot of things like a red bracelet or some water called kabal to purify your soul and don't get sick

did u hear about this sect too?what's your opinions about it?
discuss and please i don't want my thread becomes like ST ANDREW's one a vulgar thread about food hehe

The one with the red string braclets? Yeah i've heard about it... i dunno what its roots are though, seems like this religion sprung up over-night so i'd like to see its history. Seems to me that some celebritys are just doing this to make them seem more interlectual

Its a mystical-Jewish sect, bit like the Sufi sect of Islam, and they've even managed to infiltrate our uni! Fuckin hippies!

It's just a celebrity fad. From what I've heard it's nothing special. Celebs are weird. So is Scientology.

Sufism is not a sect of islam

i'm not even gonna bother with you on this one

definition of a sect : A sect is a small religious group that has branched off of a larger established religion. Sects have many beliefs and practices in common with the religion that they have broken off from, but are differentiated by a number of doctrinal differences

Sufism (Arabic تصوف taṣawwuf) is a system of esoteric philosophy commonly associated with Islam. In modern language it might also be referred to as "Islamic spirituality" or "Islamic mysticism". Some non-Islamic Sufi organizations also exist, especially in the West.Many Sufi practitioners are organized into a very diverse range of brotherhoods and sisterhoods. Although many orders ("tariqas") can be classified as Shi'a or Sunni or even both, there are a few that are clearly neither Shiah nor Sunni and so constitute a separate sphere of Islamic faith.

Well as far as I am concerned Sufism is considered a sect of Islam (ie it eveloved from Islam and was influenced by Islam)
