Wa `alaykum as-Salam

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?

..... brother, i dont know if you are being sacrcastic, or are you seriously asking this question?.... but i believe what maneatinglizard was trying to get is that in the media. sometimes any muslim who is seen as strict is sometimes referred to as "wahhabis". this goes for deobandis, or any group who actually follows madhab and are strict, sometimes uneducated ppl label them as "wahhabi" .

as for those people who are targetting malikis in north africa, they are certainly not "sufi" or deobandi or madhabi of any kind. they are salafi. and as for chechneya, central asia, and also khorasaan. there is no salafi-vs-sufi violence there. under the guidance of hanafi leaders, both the salafi and sufi are brothers. if "sufis" are being attacked its not because theyre sufi, but because they are probably working with the govt against muslims. so they are targetted. media incorrectly says that they have been targetted for being "sufi". if that was the case, what about all those sufis who werent targetted??... if there are a hundred sufi masjids and only one is working against mujahid. then only that one is targetted. so them being "sufi" has nothing to do with why they were targetted, thats how it is in south/central-asia.
