How about converting Islam to Jews?

The first duty of a sufi is to immerse himself in God, that is, in Pure, unadulterated, unselfish, honest and ethical Love. A real sufi can convert Jews to Islam, with pure wisdom, beautiful teachings, kindness and love. A true sufi sees everyone’s suffering as his suffering. He will work to remove their suffering before his own. They are extremely rare: perhaps one in a billion people. Fake sufis exist. They might die in the thoughts of snakes, scorpions and centipedes.

"The Sufi and the Sickle" is an interesting title. I wonder if he was inspired in his choice of title by "The Dervish and Death", the title of the most successful novel of the great Bosnian writer Meša Selimović? (The original title of the novel was Derviš i smrt.)
