He can't be that wise if he was born in "Larnaka, Nothern Cyprus" [SIC].

That said, I do like the pantomime costume.

Merhaba Halil,

I know about Sheikh Nazim. I accept that he is a living saint. But I am having trouble accepting everything he says. That's why I am interested to know about other sufis. There used to be lots of sufis in Cyprus. What happened to them? Have they all submitted to Sheikh Nazim?

Revered Turkish Cypriot religious leader ailing

Hundreds of followers gathered outside the commune of Turkish Cypriot Sufi mystic Sheikh Nazim Kibrisli in Lefka yesterday after a sudden decline in the religious leader’s health Monday night.
…………………
Last night, well-wishers from around the world were said to be heading to Lefka to join prayers for the Sheikh’s wellbeing.
……………………………………..

Despite his international appeal, Nazim has been widely shunned by the staunchly secular Turkish Cypriot community. Since the 1950s he has been barred from preaching in mosques in Cyprus. However, to his international audience he is revered as a saint.

Thanks Kimon, but as I said I already know about Sheikh Nazim. I'm trying to find out about sufis not affiliated with him in Cyprus. Ataturk suppressed the sufis in Turkey, but Cyprus was British by then. What happened to them all? Why was the Mevlevi tekke closed?

The last Sheık died. No one else was forthcoming, esp from Turkey. The last one was from Aleppo anyway.
