Yep this is the performance i saw..it was a pretty bizzarre experience though. Also i dont know how legit these guys were i.e. were they "real" sufis or just "actors" doing a performance. The pamphlet which was handed out at the event implied the former, but when i asked one of the organisers at the end she decided she didn't speak any english (although im sure she was speaking it before...)
Real or fake, it was quite entertaining.

Lol, yeah i can see your point...my friend at Oxford was saying that he met some who said it was OK to drink alcohol and take drugs as it takes you to a higher level and helps you connect with God better...
Despite this though, i think its important not to let these guys tarnish the Real sufis who are often more strict on fiqh than the rest of us. An excellent article on this...: http://www.masud.co.uk/ISLAM/ahm/fgtnrevo.htm
