How would I know if a mosque was Deobandis?

For that matter; what is a Deobandis anyway??

ASWW
As a revert the last madhab you want to choose is hanafi. I am hanafi and before you find out yourself we are the most racist, cultural bound Muslims on the face of the earth. You are looking for a wife and believe you me there is only heartache here for a revert.
You are better off, in my opinion, to go for a shafi madhab and marry InshaAllah a pious Somalian lady.
They have their strengths and weaknesses too but they are more accommodating especially with the war and everything.
BUT.. you need to be strong and health I promise you that! ..lol!!
