A Sufi Ceremony

This is a brief video of a Sufi religious ceremony that I captured in my recent travels to Turkey. Armstrong briefly discussed Sufism in the last chapters of the novel. Sufism is a branch of Islam. The most well know order of Sufism is that of the Whirling Dervishes. The Whirling Dervishes are famous for their trance like state achieved during prayer.
