Re: Drawing the parallels between Syed Ahmad Bareilvi and Talibans
Shah waliullah called for afghan intervention as he thought that Islam is in danger due to weakening of the Moghuls and strengthening of Marathas. He was also against ‘innovations’ in Islam, Syed Ahmed barelvi was his student, and he actually waged a jehad against the Sikhs and British. There are parallels between him and today’s Taliban.
