Recently, the Huffington Post
re-published an Associated Press article on Sufi resurgence in Somalia. Following the
withdrawal of the armed militant group Al-Shabab from the country’s capital of
Mogadishu, Somalis are once again allowed to engage in Sufi practices without
fear of death and violent repression. The article paints a landscape of men and
women chanting in divine states of worship. The writer makes mention of
women: “Beyond the circle of worshippers are dozens of women, some of
them so moved that they are crying.”
