[quote]I don't think anyone here has "written off" Mawdudi sahib. You can find instances of that in our religious orthodoxy to the extent that they brand him an "innovator" and refuse to accept him as a scholar, casting aspersions on his tutelage. But then they are known to heap obloquies on anyone who finds himself in disagreement with their position or refuses to be yoked by "received tradition".

As for "elements" in this "halqa", it is true that they take issue with his political thought and may sometimes be scathing in their criticisms but they have never tried to belittle his scholarly erudition nor have they ever denigrated him personally. You can even find a critique in the pages of "Ishraq" directed at Maulana Wahiduddin Khan for personally berating Mawdudi sahib.

It might be due to the respected Saeed Malik sahib's close affinity with Mawdudi sahib and the Jama'at and in turn your strong association with Saeed sahib that you are a little too sensitive about it. Or it just may be that you are right.

I am not at all being sarcastic here or anything of that sort. I hope you won't take it negatively. Just a bit of a Psychoanalysis by me...:)
