The deo that is mentioned, Masood azhar, is a fat swine who, apart from his promotion of terrorism, also promoted his theological terrorism against the Ahlus Sunnah in speeches and books. He is a fanatical deo bordering on being an (im)pure wahabi. I remember when the Taliban rose to prominence the deos in Birmingham were so proud and waxed lyrical on how they have "created the first Islamic emirate in the modern age"..but when American foreign policy changed and the Taliban went from being "noble warriors" to outright terrorists the link became weak..the deo imams, fearing for their work visas, mosque funding, inter faith get togethers and charity status dropped the Taliban like Tariq zaleel dropped jj !! I have pamphlets from the time where the uk deos were proudly boasting that the Taliban are deobandis and went on to name all the infamous deo "scholars" who they have taken "knowledge" from..now that the deos/tableeghis are under the spotlight because of their links to international terrorism you watch how they will squirm and push the line that they are "Sufis" and have nothing to to with the fringe, aberrant jihadist trend...as I always say..deobandis are the biggest hypocrites I have ever seen!
BBC Radio is running a 2 part program on deobandis. See here. The news item on deobandi and TJ support to extremism.
