Sufi Islam:

I've read that Sufi Muslims have experienced speaking in tongues and that it is a distinct part of their spiritual practice.

Is this true?

Aren't they the folks who poke stuff through their bodies? Impale themselves?

Ouch!

That is one of those painful religions.

No Sufi Islam don't impale themselves, Shiite Islam has been know to draw a little blood.

The group believes in reciting Quran with musical accompaniment while dancing (which Sunni and Shiite frown upon).

If that is what is being referred to as tongues, it isn't tongues as is experienced among Pentecostals.

Re: Sufi Islam:

From my studies the Sufi are to Islam what the Pentecostals are to Protestant Christianity.
