cmon akhi. This forum has seen the slander of 'ulama and the blatant labeling of brothers and sisters, and throwing of people outside of the label of Sunni.

I'm just being playful in my clear disagreement. I don't agree with the idea that any one islamic school is the center of the world of course. Besides, there are other great institutions out there and to claim one over the other like that is just totally trumping their scholars and achievements - from the scholars of West Africa, to Egypt to Malaysia. There are millions of Muslims who don't know anything about Deoband or ever even heard of it, and many who can't name a single scholar from Azhar. Allah has placed much diversity and various strengths in this Ummah and we shouldn't be so exclusive in the way we look at things.

I was hoping you were joking with the comment about deoband being the center of the world - but if you weren't you know my opinion!

Lets learn to smile
