The Deobandi Islamic revivalist movement was started by the 150-year-old Darul-Uloom Deoband madrassa in Saharanpur India and spread to other countries. Deobandis follow the fiqh of Abu Hanifa and Abu Mansur Maturidi's thought in Aqidah and Kalam which is characterised by a strict adherence to the Sunnah and an emphasis on Sharia.
Muslim scholars at the leading Wahabi madrassa declared that “Islam is a religion of mercy for all humanity. Islam sternly condemns all kinds of oppression, violence and terrorism. It has regarded oppression, mischief, rioting and murder among severest sins and crimes. Islam prohibits killing of innocent people.”
The declaration is a welcome development considering the terror related incidents all over the globe, and, recently involving Indian Muslims. The declaration will help Indian Muslims to see that terrorism is not sanctioned by Islam and also convince the world of the difference between Indian Muslims and those hailing from Pakistan and elsewhere.

this is heartening. I feel proud that this initiative started in India. Islam is a great religion and it was about time someone clarified what it really stood for.
