Am sure HALL9000 does not know what essence of Sufism is
what Molana (Rumi) really is all about
what a Sufi mindset means
Ibrahim, might have an idea, just an idea

I don't think one can describe anything in the fundamentalist cultures as "mystical" but there may be a sense of losing one's self in the community - Spengler has mentioned that. That however reinforces tribalism, and indeed is the basis of totalitarianism.
Genuine mysticism is inevitably syncretic, and there seems to be a lot of Indian influence in Sufism, not surprising given the nature of Hinduism. I have been reading by William Dalrymple, and his essay "The Red Fairy" shows a very different facet of Pakistani Islam to the picture normally shown, of Sufis defending their shrine against fundamentalist onslaught. Quote from one of the defenders: "The Wahabis should not be trying to conquer infidels, but their own egos". Very Hindu, from a Muslim.

Pessimism is the soft option.
