I am curious where are men who think like Jalaluddin al Rumi.

    Salam Sean,
    You should look for the Mevlevi order of Sufis which was founded by Rumi's followers. I'm sure you could find them in the UK. In Ireland? not so sure.

    Sounds interesting. Must give that link a read some time.

    //Edit
    Just took a quick glance at the page. Doesn't look like Sufism to me. Seems it's more about the twirling dancing than the thought, contemplation and meditation.

    The whrling is meditation AFAIK but I don't know if it was something Rumi did in his lifetime here or if it was adopted after he left.
