Deobandi, Barelvi &c

published by sam1984 on 27 July, 2008 - 16:45

Hi everyone

Hope you can help me. I'm working on a research project and can't find the Islamic word for the different schools of thought, be they Deobandi, Barevi, Salafi &c. Basically, if you were trying to ask someone (in Urdu or Arabic, say) whether they were a Deobandi or a Barelvi or whatever what would the BLANK be in the following sentence: What BLANK are you?

(I suppose the analogy with Hinduism is that people might ask which caste you were, and the BLANK would be whatever the Hindi word for caste is.)

Hope I've explained that well (not sure I have), but hope you can help me and many thanks in advance.

Bosnian Genocide

published by Hajjar on 23 July, 2008 - 21:31

Assalamu alaikum,

I had switched off the radio for a few months, because frankly my children screaming in my ears from 5am to 6pm was taking its toll on me. The other day I decided to switch it on, but had my finger on the ready to switch it off, at the mention of anything "anti-muslim". But instead i was shocked to hear some welcome news, radovan karavich had been arrested after a decade or more on the run? This man was responsible for mass murder of bosnian muslims. When i think about my history lessons i knew very little about this event, and even now i'm not all that clued up on dates and events concerning muslim genocides.
