It is indeed interesting to see that the Salafi scholars criticize the Ikhwanis, when in fact, in fiqh and aqidah, they are both the same! Neither follow maddhabs, and reject the Ash'aris/Maturidis. Yusuf Al Qaradawi, the main figure head for the Ikhwanis today, is the prime example of the deviant Ikhwanis. He mentions in the introduction of his work Al Halal wal Haram fil Islam that by the grace of Allah, he was freed from the partisanship (ta'assub) of "blind following" of a maddhab. Sound familiar? Oh yeah, he is just echoing Albani, and his cohorts Salih al Fawzan, etc.

In addition, Sayyid Sabiq mentions in his introduction to his work Fiqh as Sunnah which is filled with all sorts of errors and impermissible talfiq that the founder of the Ikhwanis, Hasan Al Banna, was actually the one who encouraged him to write the work so that blind following of maddhahib could be disproved. I dont know why our akabir put up with these Ikhwanis, such as Qaradawi, instead of rejecting their deviations from some 1400 years of orthodox scholarship.

As for Qutb, then his ideas were like Jamaate Islami, which Deobandis criticize left and right. Why not do the same for Qutb? I must admit I am unable to answer these questions.

The deobandies criticized jamat e islami for obvious reasons.First, this dissenting school of thought emerged with in them and it effected its own people mostly.The Ikhwani movement did not have any impact as such on the deobandi school and their manpower.
Whenever a school of thought is more prevalent as widespread,standing of the same Aqeedah and furu, difference of opinion and approach arise as the scholars are human beings who can think and act to the different ongoing stimuli in the world.
Just for example, Ahsan Ul uloom and Ashraf ul madaris lie almost wall to wall ,both are deobandi institutes but Mufti zarwali khan Hifzahullah's views about Ashraf ul madaris are known to everyone who has been near to him.Mufti zarawai hifazahullah views about tablighi jamat and Tariq jameel hifzahullah are also on the record. The discord which occured inbetween Dar ul uloom karachi and other deobandi madaris during the peak of " Meezan bank rumble" is also well known. Then if u pick the digest of Sipah e sahaba, they severely criticized Moulana tariq jameel hifzahullah for some of his statements a few months back.

So it happens everywhere but still its just a difference of opinion and those who dissent, do it with a good intention. I think it should be referred to as ijtihadi Ikhtilaf.
