Even with these differences of opinion, no one is being a takfiri or accusing others of bid'ah or shirk.

As for those saying that Deoband celebrating 150 years is some sort of contradiction when Deoband is against celebrating the mawlid, these people have no idea why Deoband does not allow celebrating the mawlid. The celebration of 150 years for Deoband holds no spiritual significance. It has no religious significance. Can you say the same about the mawlid? No one said that on the 150th anniversary of Darululoom Deoband, there would be some sort of special barakah or a higher likelihood of du'as being accepted or anything of that sort. And I'm pretty sure many Deobandis were against this celebration to begin with.

And I thought Shaykh bin Baaz passed away over a decade ago?

Also, it's interesting to see people who usually already side with the mubtadi' on these "contraversial" issues high-fiving each other.

In the end, the way to judge how much of a "Deobandi" someone is, the akabireen have to be used as a standard.
