$500? ... isnt that a bit tooooo much

Why are these Sufis ripping off the youth with such ridiculous prices? 500$ for a lousy retreat with a few smelly Sufi heretics?

I'd rather invest that money in building a masjid or helping the poor.

I thought it was at first. But the program is nearly a week long and includes food and lodging. One can't travel anywhere for a week for less than $500.

Oh wow. I didn't know food and lodging was included in that fees. That makes sense then, infact now I think it's pretty cheap lol

Isn't a masjid sufficient for this? How come in Europe all Islamic conferences and educative seminars are held in cheap run down masjids where you have to pay only a few euros a day. But in Cali the sufis need to go to expensive lodges and have fancy food.

Sufis claim to be ascetic. But when you see how materialist sufis are you cant help but to compare them with freemasons and that fake religion of tom cruise, whats its name?
