wonderful illustration of paki islam

I may be the only one to notice it, but my observation has been completely different than the above comment.

In the area I lived in pakistan we had a total of 7 masajid, out of which 2 were deobandi and one Ahl Hadith. The remaining were all barelvies.

My own parents are born into barelvi surrounding.

What I have observed is, that the barelvi Imaams in masajid do not know tajweed rules. I had a very very hard time in the taraweeh last year since my father goes to a barelvi masjid. The recitation was either 4x haddar (thus no focus on makharij and tajweed at all) or if it was hadar speed then the tajweed would be way out of line. I spent a few days in the mosque and then humbly asked my father if I can go and check out the deobandi mosque. The taraweeh in deobandi mosque was exactly like we have in canada or other places. Alhamdulillah the pronunciation was very well aside from some miner Lahn Khafies.. Which I didnt mind.

I have met many imaams of barelvi mosque, and so far aside from those Qaris on the TV or those in the likes of Wahed Zafar Qasmi.. I have not met any who would recite properly.

So I in the least would not agree to that sectarian comment. there are good and bad everywhere..
