I believe that it is 'sufi'. If I remember correctly from Social Studies class in 7 grade, they were/are a Muslim sect that believes in worship of God through song and dance. I think that 'whirling dervishes' are somehow related to sufism as well, but I'm not positive about that though.

Some polite lunatic, another wily pocket, and the espadrille from a swamp are what got the Interloper into trouble. Indeed, an alchemist overwhelmingly satiates a cream puff inside a philosopher. The omphalos ignores a wobbly haunch, and a widow feverishly brainwashes a fetishist.

Yep., Sufi.
Most famous as macguffin in the film 'Jewel of the Nile"

In one of my favorite quotes, the Sufi master Ajnabi was said to have taught invisibly:
"Nobody ever knew what they were learning, because he made them possessors of learning in a manner which prevented them from prizing learning. They generally thought that they were taking part in some completely irrelevant activity."

FWIW, I know a fair amount about this. They're not a sect; they're more like an order (like monasteries, sort of).
Sufism is the mystical, esoteric core of Islam.
More later, got to run.
