so its emphasis of jihad that converted to sufi pashtuns to pro-devbandi? But as far as I know, a society where sufi traditions flow is quite plural and tolerant and its very difficult to raise people for armed Jihad. I can see that in Sindh, may be they have interpreted Jihad in different meaning as they are not martial race, but as Pashtun society was martial race they could connect to armed jihad.

Oversimplification always leads to errors brother.

I often see this portrayal of Sufis as subcontinental, deobandi as wahabised, arabised militant, in Pakistani English press. Its far from truth.

Truth is that religious sects and political affiliations DO NOT go together. Sufis have been jihadis as much as non-sufis. Sultan Salahuddin Ayubi was sufi. Imam Shamil of Chechniya was sufi. Mehdi Sudani was sufi.

In Pakistan movement some sufis were with British, others were against, some deobandis were with Quade Azam some were against. Militancy always has a political side.
