East Africa's Sufi Path to Countering Violent Extremism

The International Crisis Group (ICG) published on 15 September 2015 a commentary titled "East Africa's Sufi Path to Countering Violent Extremism" by Rashid Abdi, Horn of Africa analyst with the ICG.  He argues that the wholesale demonization of Salafism by Sufi groups is not helpful.  Rather, Sufis should reach out and engage those Salifis who oppose violence.
