Sidi KhanBaba, i think i did read that, but obviously those statements have no bearing on the issues, statements like those are rejected.

Sidi Zulfiqar, Mulla 'Ali Qari was very well aware of Ibn taymiyya, why do i say that? Because his shaykh, Ibn Hajar Haytami, was very clear on his position on Ibn taymiyya, yet Mulla 'Ali Qari takes the opposite position. Not to mention, if you look at the works of two of them, there seems to be some sort of battle (don't know if that's the right word). For example, both have commentary on Shamail, Mishkat, attesting to someone going to jannah, etc, their position on Ibn Arabi are different as well. About six works total. Now to say that Mulla 'Ali wasn't aware of Ibn taymiyya doesn't seem to hold much weight (in my opinion). And if you look at Sharh Fiqhul Akbar, yes he was maturdi, but he did agree with ithbat of Sifat, and not doing interpretation, as was the stance of Imam al-'Adham.

As for Shaykh AbdulFattah not reading Ibn taymiyya's work, if you read his ta'liqs, at least the ones i've read, he cross references very well, and thus he cross references much of Ibn Taymiyya's work, as i've seen in Ajwaba al-Fadilah, and others. Not to mention him editing Ibn taymiyya's and his student's work.
