Sneako, comparing Rumi to Ibn Taymiyyah is comedy. Ibn Taymiyyah spent a good chunk of his life locked up by the Mamluks for his views. He died in their prison. That’s the historical record. Rumi was a major figure in his own time, respected, with a following that turned into one of the great Sufi orders of the Ummah. There’s no Wahhabi or modern Salafi polemicist on Rumi’s level. Not in spiritual rank, not in influence on the traditional Sunni world, not in the hearts of Ahlus Sunnah. The language in Rumi’s poetry about love is the standard Sufi idiom for the soul’s longing for Allah. Reducing it to “homosexual poems” and “fantasizing about dudes” is a surface reading that people who actually studied the tradition don’t make. You’re siding with the wahabi people who want to shrink the Ummah down to their narrow box, and then acting surprised when traditional Sunnis push back.
