Can Sufi Islam counter the Taliban?

Taken from the BBC:

Thoughts? My Arabic teacher is Sufi, and I've been wanting to take his course on Sufi Islam for quite some time, it seems wholly dissimilar from the Islam touted by bin Laden and his cronies. I'd love to hear comments/experiences from QPs who have worked in the area.

On another note, the idea of a bunch of Pakistanis sitting around smoking hashish cracks me up. Of course, they're not fighting - they're too busy getting stoned!
