Cricketplaya, thank you for your input but I am questioning the 67% of Pakistani Sunni's r Barelvi's bcos in all my life I have never come across them until recently, in London, 2 or 3 mosques.
I vaguely know about the 4 schools of thought, and im not 100% sure but I think most Pakistani's follow Hanafi madhab, but didn't even realise that even within these, divisions exist. Or to put it politely, some people within the Hanafi school of thought wish to follow some things more than others.
you are right in questioning him. I have not seen many people with the Barelvi sect. maybe where he lives there is a greater concentration of them.
