Assalamualaikum,

Can anyone clarify the issues on the "Pledge of Mutual Respect and Co-operation" done by Yasir Qadhi? I stumbled upon this on youtube and there are various oppositions condemning yasir qadhi and others regarding this pledge. From my understanding this pledge seeks to unite sunni muslims with different theological understandings such as the mainstream sunnis, maturidi, ashaari, salafi etc.. Is unity ok regardless on some differences in theology and fiqh, or are they considered sects out of the fold of islam and therefore unity with them is impossible?

Fyi this pledge was signed by various well known muslim figures especially in the west.. as can be seen on:
