Wa `alaykum as-Salam

Exactly.

It's probably obvious by now to most people, but whenever a media piece references "Salafis," it is actually referring to fundamentalists, including Deobandis and other proper Sufi groups, and whenever they mention "Sufi," they actually mean people like Nazim Haqqani, or even worse in many cases.

Is that really the case here? Are the Wahhabis referred to here in reality Sufis? And the Sufis are all pseudo-Sufis? Was that also the case in the media's report on Somalia? Were those Wahhabi groups in fact Sufis? Are the enemies of the Maliki madhhab in North Africa also Sufis in reality? Are the enemies of the Sunnis in Chechnya and Central Asia also Sufis?

And why unnecessarily mention the name of Shaykh Nazim?
