I apologize in advance for offending people withj my post as i most probably will.

why do the Indian deobandies appear to reject the taliban (Afghan) while the Pakistani ones support them?

why all this living in the past when it comes to describing all the great achievements of Shaikhul Hind and his jihad, or the jihad of Maulana Qasim Nanutwi against the british and then in the same breath condemning the taliban? if the taliban are not on the deobandi approach when it comes to jihad against the americans then were maulana Qasim Nanutwi and Haji Imdadullah?

why does it seem like the indian "deobandies" are monopolizing the legacy of the akabireen and trying to promote a deobandism which explicitly requires condemning mujahideen as terrorists. I'm making this observation after hearing more than one speech by different Indian deobandies. why can't they adopt a more balanced approach like that of Dr. Zakir Naik on the matter?!?!?

Assalamu alaykum.

The answer is simple. The conditions in India are different. And the Indian ulema are in a better position to judge what is better for 20 crores Indian Muslims. Also in Pakistan majority of the ulema are not vocal regarding jihad.

So leave the ijtihad to locals.
