Pakistani Sufi Leader in Historic Visit to Israel
(Jerusalem Post) Ohad Merlin - Pakistani Sufi leader Peer Syed Mudassir Nazar Shah, chairman of the global Sufi Council, visited Israel for the first time in January. His visit was arranged through the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs (JCFA). According to Shah, Sufis constitute 75% of the population of Pakistan, the world's second-largest Muslim country. Despite their large numbers, they traditionally don't strive for political power nor propagate a global agenda but rather focus on their local communities and traditions.
