Comprehensive, Scholarly, and Difficult to Read
This book is a very interesting book about a much misunderstood area of Islam. It is comprehensive in that it covers the intellectual aspects of Sufism as well as the organizational aspects. Many books are available that cover the teaching and beliefs of Sufis (the intellectual aspects) and...

Anti-Imperialism in the Butcher Shop of Aden: The Story of Mohammed Abdullah ...
Self-Made Hassan
Mohammed Abdullah Hassan was born in central Somaliland in 1856. Eldest son of an Ogaden Somali Sheikh, Hassan was groomed for leadership at a young age, and before he reached his teens had become a 'haifz', a term for those who have memorized the Quran in its entirety. After teaching Islamic thought for a number of years, he left the Sa'Madeeq Valley and travelled to religious centres across the Horn of Africa before leaving the continent in 1894 to perform a hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia.
It was only following an incident shortly after his return to Berbera Province in 1895, that Hassan turned his attention towards the British. Eight years previously in 1888, the British had signed a number of treaties with local sultans designating the region as a protectorate, giving the Crown jurisdiction over what became known as 'British Somaliland'. Hassan was shocked by the pluralism of religion in the region. While he disapproved of the khat-munching members of the Qadiri Sufi order, it was the presence of Christianity, a European import, that shocked him to the core. In 1899, Hassan bought a gun from some British soldiers, who later accused him of stealing it. Being scammed by foreign infidels proved to be the final straw, and was pivotal in his establishment of the Dervish Movement.
