yes, that is true even today. Its not only true in Pakistani deobandi madrasas, its also true of each and every tablighi gathering, like that of Maulana Tariq Jameel Sahib @
Zarvan. It is also true of each and every deobandi madrassa in the west AND each and every tablighi gathering in the west.
However, the question is, how many support armed insurrection against the State of Pakistan and its army? That is, how many of them support TTP and Lal Masjid?
Having affinity with the Taliban type of model is not the same as having affinity with an armed insurrection against all other Pakistanis and their army. Do the overwhelming majority of these people have affinity with afghan type of Taliban or with TTP type of Taliban?
You are repeating the same confusion again. Because it suits you. Just because a village deobandi opened up a quran school for earning money at his home, and called it a "madrassah", doesn't mean the biased and generalizing "liberal" dominated western media should go berserk and repeat the same "fact" of "the majority of the madrassahs in Pakistan are deobandi", to such an extent that it becomes the truth and everyone starts to believe it. Its all full of half truths and realities. Its like the whole world believing Iraq is 60-65% shia, just because the west started it on the news, after Vali Nasr said it, and now the whole world seems to believe it, when if one goes to Iraq, one will find it far from reality!
The western media only aims to demonize and distort Islam and Muslim countries
