Maulana Mahmood Madani, Gen-Secy of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, a moderate Islamist organisation in India with wide influence among Indian Muslim community has this to say.
Basically, we belong to the Deoband school of thought which follows the "middle path". But a new reputation has come up that Deobandis are extremists, they are Taliban. This has been projected by the Taliban. They claim they are Deobandis. And we cannot go against their claims.
These are the words of moderate organisations who does not condemn the actions of Taliban. Think about extremist.. they will shower praises on Laden and his coterie.
