this whole donation ordeal had nothing to do with Sh Habib Umar or Shaykh Kazim
ok but that still doesn't exculpate Ali Jifry & Umar bin Hafeez from their fawning over christians or their unabashed support for heretics like hosein nasr, mark hanson, bin bayyah and the so many heretical/kufr positions and/or actions demeaning deen in front of kafirs.
post # 39 by Abdullah Ahmed should be framed and hung on every Sunni's wall. and yes, this has been an age old problem in the world of tasawwuf and mutasawwifeen ... all it takes is one out of line peer to turn the mureed-base into a cult all in the name of adab, using it as a shield against accountability. that's why MEN like imams Abdul Wahhab Sha3rani, Ghazali, Ala Hazrat and others always emphasized the unison of Shariat and Tariqat. the subcontinent too is rife with it.
