[QUOTE=mubakr;791238]

every innovation with rigid principalism and purify Islam. I admire that they are particularly obsessed about Tawheed almost fanatically. I think every Muslim group is now on its toes ensuring that anything they propagate doesnot conflict with Tawheed. Their understanding of Tawheed is faulty. Is man on a earth in the universe physically distant from Allah

? They say were are close to Allah

by His Knowledge but Knowledge does not just exist independently of Allah

. They have a heard time understanding nuanced and subtle thoughts, everything is black or white with no room for ambiguity. Ambiguity is a part of human life everything cannot be reduced to binary opposition or logic. For instance non Salafis say Divoce is allowed in Islam but one of the most disliked things by Allah

...this makes sense to me...Salafis will say how can it be allowed and still be disliked, it is nonsense.

I also am particularly impressed by their scholarly views on Jihad and I was surprised that this group which most see as a fundamentalist bedrock is actually very articulate, clear and distinct about the valid Jihad and invalid Jihad and many of the salafi scholars condemn Bin Ladin. There are many types of Salafis some follow the Jihadi doctrines and others do not.

To quote one of their imams who was answering a question wether bin laden is a mujahid or a deviant "yes, bin laden is a mujahid however he is doing jihad in the path of shaytaan". What mathab did Bin Laden follow? Ayman Zwahari is number 2 was tortured by the rulers of Egypt and released, people who know him said he was a different man after the torture...these people have been created by the Tyrants in the Muslim and Non Muslim lands.
