It happened in Europe... it is happening still unfortunately, and not much is known about it. Unfortunately only those who somehow ended up there can tell a story... the problem or the advantage to the manipulative leader is that community is cut out from the city, it is located in a small village. Neither main leader of Naqshibandi movement Shaykh Mehmet bothers about what his representatives do in his name, neither government agencies... and people who are ex mureeds are still too indoctrinated and afraid to speak up about it. It is like every cult indoctrination, they all fear unknown consequances.
I don’t know about the USA, but I think Shaykh Hisham is there and he seems to be pretty ok, definately sure he would not support this kind of organisation.
I would like to speak out about it openly, but my husband’s family is deeply involved in it, and husband is scared they may cut off ties with us if their leader is being exposed. That is literally called blind love.
Someone is degrading you, humiliating you, using you, tricking you and you defend it with your life. These leaders have such a power over their followers, even family matters mean nothing when it comes to protecting system of control of a leader.
Sad reality of these communities...
