But in general, that books which I've read which come out of the
"Deobandi" circles are actually pretty explicitly and uniformly
supportive of Sufism. Tablighi Jamaat which is probably the Muslim
world's largest mass movement (their annual convention gets a higher
attendance of Muslims than the hajj) comes out of the Deobandi
perspective and they are certainly infavor of Sufism.
Dear Rich and Gilberto,
 
I think it depends on what kind of Sufism you are talking about. The Deobandi school opposed the kinds Sufism which had built bridges with Hinduism and created the kind of universalism that typified Mughal India. But orders like Naqshabandi they had no problem with.
 
warmest, Susan
