As Salamu alaikum, It sounds like the Barelwis are losing their following and they are starting to get worried. Surely, Tabligh Jamat in Tarim is hardly noticeable, though the Ulama of Tarim seem to respect the effort. There are wahhabis in Tarim but they are pretty much in every other place as well. It is weird how the write mentions, " Many senior scholars have bought this to light to Habib Omar and Habib Ali Jafri but they prefer to turn the blind eye." Who are these senior scholars exactly ? Why would they bring it up to Habib Ali in the first place, he lives in the U.A.E !
