Well, bugmenot, fair-minded scholars like Sh. Taha Karaan who graduated from Deoband acknowledge the mawlid's permissibility according to the shafi'i school at least. The reason being that there were *many* great scholars who argued for it. But why bring that up?

Why does 'arguing for the Mawlid' mean one is fair-minded?

If you can please outline the last time a mawlid gathering was essentially a Sirah gathering out of the large mawlids held across the Arab world and Indo-Pak and Africa, then I'd like to see it.
