Default Opinions on Islamic Sufism?

Bad link, but it's quick and easy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sufism

The rejection of dualism intrigues me.

I know just a little about Sufism, just enough to want to know more.

It focuses upon purifying one's spirit to meet God. It can be used for other faiths, and focuses upon refining yourself. Because it softens the harsh tones of Islam, it interests me.

Al Ghazali is also interesting because in Incoherence he rejects Greek methodology, thereby increasing the mystic qualities of Islamic faith.
