Ynt: [Tariqas] Muslim Sufi Doctrines

[Sukru Kaya]

Lopister,

oh sorry for the imitation without giving any reference. remember it was
your strategy, monk of the list: creating tension...didnt you like it?

you utter many words but in fact say nothing. i leave you alone in your
mess. continue to follow satan whispering to you from the right.

Sukru
