Mr. Arredondo, although I’m still listening to your video, and I am not particularly versed in Islamic religion, but I have been studying comparative religion and ancient traditions for awhile, I was struck by your assertion that Sufism is of the Shia branch.
This is what Wikipedia says, not that we should take everything it says at face value.
I thought this might be of your interest. Thanks very much.
