so what? If Qawwali can't be sung in mosques, but can be used to convey message of tolerance and humanity.
The question is about the impact of Sufi music on masses. Its not about terming certain practices allowed to be performed in mosques or not, its about how the overall impact of such practices and attracting masses towards the message.
Calling something 'Islamic' is just one's opinion. There are Muslims who call all kinds of music haraam, there are some who consider some kind of music haraam, and there are some who consider no music haraam at all.
And since everyone considers himself the champion or pehelwaan of Islam, so fatwa-baazi against others start.
Point is that such debates are point-less.
If really wants to discuss such issues then after giving a fatwa, one must tell where the fatwa comes from.
As far as sufi music like qawwalis, well, amen to that (as per "mullah" khoji).

point was not about declaring something Islamic / UnIslamic as that is not concluded and agreed upon by all the Muslims. Discussion is about whether sufi music was able to connect people from different classes, sects, etc
