hmm what you wrote regarding your views on salafis cannot be called anti-salafism actually. and no tolerance doesn't necessarily mean acceptance. but we mustn't criticize something salafi just because it is salafi. otherwise we can end up like 'extremists' as you called them.

well i have seen both ulema and laymen calling salafis as khawarij. it is mostly laymen (you know; like us, knowledgeable laymen) who call them zindeeq and kafir.

Is anti-salafism something different from opposing salafism ?..I do not think knowledgeable laymen like us call them as such^ or maybe I haven't seen such laymen either..I think we are on the same side of the argument and what I did was only highlight the differences which you might have got wrong which is why my reply was quoted in your earlier post..Again I didn't say such that tolerance should mean acceptance and neither do I belief as such. I am not getting why my posts are being quoted in yours as I did not simply criticize them for their label but for things which I belief are incorrect and I further clarified my stance thereafter in the next post too..if it is something that I said which sounded wrong then kindly highlight it so I may know of it inshaAllah.
