I was summoned and here I am and I want to add a bit more. people need to stop conflating Salafiyyah with Saudi Arabia.
even if you hate salafiyyah- shouldn't you from a strategic standpoint "know your enemy"?
salafiyyah was the spirit and Saudi was the vessel. it had other vessels before and it will have other vessels after. it's amazing to me how this vast coalition stands in front of little old me... liberals, white US politicians in suits with serious expressions sounding very stern, feminists angry about whatever they're angry about at the moment, sufis... even Modi and the BJP ("Sufism is a force for peace", it was something like that Modi said I think)... all these random forces including ones we've never even heard of.... I saw this right-wing Salvador Abascal politician... he is like Tommy Robinson of Spain... he was going on a campaign specifically against Salafi masajid... why don't the Modis and Salvador Abascals go after the sufis?
anyways, it's amazing to me how this vast ginormous coalition stands with their torches and pitchforks gathered against WAHHABISM... THE WAHHABIS... SALAFIS.... it is just hilarious to me... Salafis are just not that powerful... it's just some ordinary brothers, humble ordinary Muslims... and the forces of the world gather against them.... and these ordinary brothers win! I can smell the fear from the mighty coalition. the Saudi gov itself can join in against the salafis, I think it has- but I believe salafiyyah is just gaining in strength... what can you do against ideas like "mawlid is bid'ah"... "don't pray to dead saints"... it's just the truth... if Allah and the truth are on your side, the superpowers of the world are helpless against you Allahu Akbar
