since there's like 100's of types of salafis out there...its hard to have one opinion on all of them
good points:
I agree that its good they are strict with tawheed
Their dawah efforts to non-muslims is very strong
They provide a lot of help and support to reverts
some of their scholars are admirable in the fact that they don't water down Islam to suit government/non-muslims
bad points:
caused further divisions within muslims..not just against sufis and madhab followers but within themselves too
lack of tazkiyyah = bad adab, arrogance
some of them have shia traits, with suggestions sahabah RA did not follow sunnah and introduced bidahs
annoying slogans that are deceptive, such as following quran and sunnah only etc
disrespect towards great ulemah such as imam Abu Hanfiah RA, Imam Nawawi RA...to the extent that they burn their books
Many scholars who give fatwas in favour of governments/non-muslims and water down Islam
Ignorance and intolerance on differences of opinion...its my way or the high way attitude
