Deadly Egypt mosque attack: What is Sufism?
Sean Rossman, USA TODAY Published 3:20 p.m. ET Nov. 25, 2017

The article asks:

Fishrrman asks in response:
What does it matter?

It's just muslims killing other muslims.
Something we in The West should not worry about.
Indeed the more of them that kill each other, the better our chances become.
