Im listening to this video series by Yasir Qadhi:
An Explanation of the Shahadas-Part 1
An Explanation of the Shahadas-Part 2
An Explanation of the Shahadas-Part 3

So far I've watched only Part 1 and he's already criticized the Asha'ri and Maturidi theology numerous times, saying that they dont understand the meaning of the shahada correctly, have deviant beliefs, were influenced by philosophers etc...

As far as I know, these two theology are from the ahlu-sunnah wal jama'. So im thinking, is he a salafi? And is Muhammad al-shareef also a salafi? And this would mean that al-Maghrib institute is also salafi, as their are the founders of the institute.

I also found this: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/20/ma...pagewanted=all

This comes out as a shock to me! I had no idea. And now im hearing things like 'Yasir qadhi is misguided', etc...
Can anyone clarify please.

I find his lectures beneficial, and am planning to listen to his seerah lectures (which i heard were amazing). Should I stop listening to him if he is a salafi, since im not?

Ps: Please dont backbite about Yasir Qadhi or Muhammad al-Shareef, just kindly explain.
