Well I was thinking this Shaykh has some valid points, but then when he said that the Barelvis are more open and tolerant to new ideas, well clearly proved the Shaykhs knowledge of either group is lacking, I think his knowledge of Barelvis and the situation of muslims in uk is extremely laking,his article seems more like an emotional rant.

I think the main issue is that the Barelvis invite, Scholars like Shaykh Yaquobi, Shaykh Ninowy, and Shaykh Jifri and other arab sufis to their mosque to give lectures, whilst the Deobandis seem to be more insular. I think that is the underlying cause of the Shaykhs bitterness.
