Rumi and His Hipocrisy

People think they believe in Rumi and his concept of world unity, but just like him, push away anyone that disagrees with them? He was the Deepak Chopra of his time, fooling the gullible like any garden variety prophet and admonishing his critics by labeling them as fools. Quran is filled with such admonishments, no difference. He was a hypocrite and taught hypocrisy just like Muhammad. Studying Rumi is a step backward. It teaches one to set aside one's rationality, be imprecise, be touchy-feely and follow ideas that simply don't work.

Heidegger, as much as some may hate him, influenced Jean-Paul Sartre and Derrida. There would not have been a L'Être et le néant without him.  Let's look up something:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypocrisy


Both Rumi's masnavi ma'anavi and Koran have so many verses talking about stupid people and how they can't be educated and how they should all be admonished.  But you would think a caring person would probably want to in fact focus on the intellectually-impoverished and care for them, that they would preach about bringing in the mislead ones, the low IQ ones and the stubborn and try to guide them in the right path. But no sir, they know better than anyone that the ones they are calling the fools are actually the smart ones.  They don't want those guys messing their up spiel.
