   opportune for him to LARP as a Muslim albeit an eccentric one. Now there has   
   been a decided shift    
   away from being a Muslim "Bayāni" back to being a Post-Islamic religion   
   complete with its own Basmala.

   to this "Primal Point" he    
   invokes in his new religion's Basmala.

   words of Michael Muhammad Knight regarding Nima Hazini, however, I simply have   
   no idea what to do with the concept of a 'Sufi master' who trolls the   
   internet, or his deceived    
   sycophants who assist him in his bullshit and accuse the people he's wronged   
   of being instigators.   
      
   More irrelevant conjecture. "Da da Wahid uses a different Basmala, ah ah, I'm   
   such a smart arse".
