Asslamo Allaikum, http://www.alsharia.org/ The article in this month's Al-Sharia by Doctor Mahmoodul-Hasan Arif (left hand corner) answers a lot of questions about Deobandi Ulama and why they do certain things and the way they do it. http://www.wifaqululama.co.uk/home.html The talk by Mufti Saeed Saheb about moonsighting also sheds some light on the issue of the Ulama. Both interesting pieces. All I know is till Ulama need to step up to the plate, Peace TV & Islam Channel (& I also have nothing personal against them) etc. will keep confusing people... Same goes for Radio Ramadhan 's (they spring up in every corner in UK during Ramadhan) and people who come on it and issue all sorts of Fatwaas about Zakat etc. Like it or not, the world has evolved and the Ulama need to counter it. Baatil is not following the Akhlaaq of Rasul-ullah (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam), its following the tactics of Shaytaan.
