why not name this thread "blanket takfir"
there is another person on deenport obsessed with the so called "takfiri barelwis". infact there is more than one. they all happen to be deobandis or from deobandi backgrounds
infact the issue is, if you want to give barelwis the benefit of the doubt on their takfiri trait, why not give the deobandis the benefit of the doubt on their wahabi traits?
then the issue comes up, the deobandis are far too takfiri than even the barelwis, as one can see with clear eyes in the Sub Continent (As I saw myself)
one can play around with the fatwas issued from the "barelwi" side, and can then justify it with the argument that the wahabi/deo fatwas were also being played around with
then one can say, I am just following the simple english of the translated fatwas from the Barelwi side, perhaps because I am not Barelwi or Deobandi, I do not know where the meaning is coming from, though from the words it does seem blanket takfir.
one can also "beat around the bush", the lovely phrase, about what the words of Shaykh Irfan Shah Mash-hadi "clearly" "CLEARLY" mean
brother Abu Fadl agreed without beating around the bush, and then the purpose was done, opportunity in hand, but one still believes one is genuinely enquiring into the matter, because this seems interesting and why not the Barelwis (brothers) discuss it
but there is still the possibility that this is all a truly innocent, genuine, unbiased, seeking clarification in concern, enquiry for brothers on Sunniport
