This report was translated from Iran Press News by Banafsheh Zand-Banazzi for A Daily Briefing on Iran Blog. Sufis are probably the only Mohammedans that buck the violent trend of the psuedo-prophet Mohammed. I suspect the Sufis evolved early from a predilection to be one with God and escaped Mohammedan notice by adopting the parts of the Koran that could be skewed toward peace.
The report writes of violent attacks and burning of property. Much of the property burned had to do with Sufi spiritual worship. And yet more evidence of the inherent violent nature of Mohammedanism.

According to reports from the regime-run site ENTEKHOB, the several-day long resistance of the Nematollahi Sufi Dervishes to the closing of their Hosseini'yeh (spiritual center) came to a brutal end on Monday night, Feb. 13th as fundamentalist groups gathered and chanted "Death to Sufism", leading to violence and finally the destruction of the Hosseini'yeh.
Passers by reported that there was no trace of the brand-new building of the Hosseini'yeh by late Tuesday morning, Feb. 14th. A resident of Qom reported:
"Several of the city's streets have now been officially closed down to traffic,
the electricity in that area has also been shut off and it feels just like
martial law. They are beating people. Some of the Sufis who are Imam Ali
worshippers were attacked in their spiritual center and the security forces took
the blankets inside the center and set them on fire because they had done a
peaceful sit-in for days to protect their Hosseini’yeh. Ambulances were coming
and going. The stores are all closed..."
