You're completely off the mark. Darool-Uloom Neoband is described as "an ultra-conservative Muslim seminary", rather than "a bunch of stuck-up, middle-class snobs". If a "movement [that] has been recognised by analysts as a key force behind jihadi madrassas" actively renounces violence, it just might have an impact. Already, "analysts said the move was ...[text shortened]... .
I get the distinct impression that you'd quite like to see more bombs going off.
What I'm saying is that these people aren't the ones in refugee camps or suffering starvation. It's easy to condemn things when you actually don't have much to do with it.
And don't start on the: "Oh they're the key force behind... blah blah blah", we all know that leaders are very quick to send the poor to their death and feast on the spoils.

Originally posted by shavixmirInterestingly, terrorists often come from educated, middle-class, relatively successful backgrounds and sometimes are even university graduates. Religion, rather than poor socioeconomic circumstances, seems to be the biggest risk factor in becoming a terrorist.
Because, oh-not-so-omniscient one (I don't even know what it means), nobody who feels the need to use terror is going to listen to a bunch of stuck-up, middle class snobs who aren't suffering one little bit.

A Muslim Indian seminary which is said to have inspired the Taliban has issued a fatwa against terrorism, insisting that Islam is a religion of peace.
Senior clerics from the 150-year-old Darul Uloom Deoband issued the edict saying they wished to wipe out terrorism. "Islam rejects all kinds of unjust violence, breach of peace, bloodshed, murder and /muslim-seminary-issues-fatwa-against-terrorism-838162.html
