Sufism has nothing to do with Islam
in fact Sufism has nothing to do with Islam!! the roots of the Sufism is about 5000 years ago in Iran while Iranians worship Mithra (the angle of the covenant) and Iranians (Persians) really respects all creatures (except the harmful ones) they even had woman kings that time. when Arabians Moslem's attacked Iran about 1400 years ago Iranians had to keep their beliefs and cultures by turning them to one of the Islam traditions or holly places (such as pasargade). and some how invent shiah to actually defiance savage Arabs. for instance there is no real Sufi Arab! nor any other nationality.
Another Answer:
Sufism is a way of practicing religious mysticism, so technically a Sufi could either be Muslim or not. It is possible to practice mysticism without conflicting with orthodox Islam (like through meditation for example), but some of the practices of many Sufis do go against the rules.
