salafi

[bluebird]

so i've been noticing the usage of the word "salafi" on here (and usually wahabi irl). I feel that the usage of this word stems from the desire to create hatred in the hearts of muslims towards the sunnah of our Prophet (PBUH) by associating it with those who call themselves salafi. Things that are actually a PART of islam are being called salafi/wahabi now. it's also used synonymously with religious on somalispot for some reason even though there are religious sufis, and plain muslims as well.


just imagine.. all religious people are called salafi today in three generations all the muslims are like christians-by name only and then further down the rabbit whole until they are all atheists. I'm sure that's what the atheists would like. which is why they always label any muslim that doesn't follow their lifestyle as an extremist . if you haven't noticed it yet keep your eyes peeled

 

[dhegdheer]

Salafis are a plague

 

[Striker]

I don't know about wahabis and salafis. but I read the quran and follow the sunnah.

I also listen to sheikhs and sometimes read books from scholars like Abu Hanifa, Malik, Shafi'i, and Ahmad ibn Hanbal. Also I sometime read sheikh mohammed ibn abduwahab

 

[fox]

I follow the Quran and authentic sunnah. Am I part of the salafi cult? no. Within salafiism there's division. The ones with the worst akhlaaq is the salafi group called SPUBS. They reside in Birmingham n its basically a group of ex-thugs in thobes. No akhlaaq what so ever.

 

[Raamsade]

The world, including the Muslim world, uses terms like Wahabi or Salafi to distinguish peaceful Muslims from the head-chopping, raping, child-enslaving, raw heart-eating fanatics who call themselves Muslims. Would you rather the world didn't make the effort of distinguishing Muslims by conduct?

Salafi are the poisons who oppress women and hold the holier than thou attitude, accept acts which are far past there time. They are literally stuck in the 7th century having made no progress at all with how to behave in a society where human rights laws are presently implemented. These people are fanatics who are not at all tolerant to other human beings. They encourage beheadings, killing of apostates, stoning of women etc. These people are not to be emerged with the peaceful muslims who have fully integrated into foreign society's. these creatures should be sent to another planet with their psychotic tendencies that are above human morale. These sociopaths are not to be treated as normal they are poison who spread extremist views that brainwash many youths worldwide.

Disclaimer: This is NOT a defense of the corrupt Gulf Kings, their ties with the US Empire and Israel, their historical (and continuing) betrayal of Muslims, and their hand in arranging pockets of 'Jihadis' wherever their puppet masters need them. I am well aware of Saudi/Israeli/US shadow games and their use of our religion as a mercenary force.

It's another branch of deception similar to bashing Arabs - you're spot on.

"Hey black Muslims, look at how the Arabs enslaved you in the past! Look at these one or two scholars who were derogatory to blacks in their description of them. Islam is not for blacks!"

"Hey natives of -insert country- (MENA, Iranians, etc.), look at your glorious history. Your people's contributed to the best, brightest, and most prosperous empires/kingdoms. Until those Arabs came and destroyed everything! You were brainwashed/forced to convert by the invaders!"

"Hey Muslims, look at those Salafis over there - not conforming to European standards. Look at their oppressive nature, forcing the burka on women, and themselves wearing those weird white robes. They aren't like the REAL exemplary modern Muslims like -insert your local munafiq/jahil- Clearly they're extremists." (Hence conflating the local practicing Muslim to the barbarian at the battlefield).

You can even see the effects on this thread by the way you all froth at the mere mention of the word 'Salafi'. You're all being held psychologically hostage to this extent. WE as Muslims understand the (intricate) theological issues with Salafism - it's a long (and heated) debate in the Muslim world with varying opinions. The focus is their harshness toward bidah (or what they deem as so), and their amalgamation of all the schools of thought (jurisprudence) in an attempt to streamline it.

Although a lot of Muslims may disagree, these are valid theological points that don't take you out of the religion. The trouble is, your local gaal will not be able to grasp this. To him those headchoppers are Salafi by default - and us Muslims have aided in this dangerous mis-characterisation. The Muslims from the Indian sub-continent in particular (deobandi/berelvis and their crusade against Sh. Ibn Taymiyyah (rA), as well as Persian Muslims for obvious reasons.

Similarly, the term 'Shariah' is quickly becoming a forbidden word too.

It's a catch all term, excessively used to describe the Sunni religious, with the characteristics of Schroedinger's Cat. The ideology that both breeds deep state collaborators, and originators of every resistance group on this globe. The range of characters using this brand should indicate to you its complexity as an ideology.

But obviously to some of you this bastard is the REAL Muslim:

what word do you use to describe religious extremists? both in practise (terrorists) and in interpretation (saudi arabia basically)

 

[TekNiKo]

Salafiyyah or the original psth is the purest form of Islam. Only those who are sick in their hearts hate salafiyyah, especially murtadeen

 

[TheMadMullah]

the salafis in saudi arabia are very loyal to the state even when the saudis are on a wrong side... now the other salafis including somali ones are a threat to their states as they act like agents of saudis. But still far much better than any thing else out there!

 

[bluebird]

just extremists since not all salafis are extremists and not all extremists are salafi (there are different types of extremism in islam)

 

[Cyberborg]

just call them what they are. apostates kuufaar

exihibit a. This basically reads like what someone would say about islam, but I see you're masking it with the salafi label

"stuck in the 7th century"- can't b a coincident you use the time the Quran was revealed

To be honest this ancient argument is what you would expect to hear from those cadaans who are like " We don't want no sharia law in mah country"
Plus it seems you are struggling to differentiate between Salaf As-salih and extremism....
Please go learn the difference you nerd...

 

[Bahal]

So why are you guys against Al Shabab?

 

[Ferrari]

I have been called a terrorist and I am not even that religious. Sspot is filled with atheists and borderline confused atheist to be's. but what can you do? Just make sure they don't influence you.
I say this because I have seen few who've joined as muslims only to end up asking us to help them after a few months because they are confused.

 

[Ferrari]

So why are you guys against Al Shabab?

Because they don't follow the Quran or the prophet's way.

 

[Bahal]

Because they don't follow the Quran or the prophet's way.

Everyone claims to follow the Prophet's way though.

Salafism is a modern day phenomenon.

Islam says killing another Muslim intentionally puts your ass in hell for life and as you know there is no other crime in Islam for which a Muslim spends time in hell eternally aside from shirk. Even when it comes to non Muslims, you can't randomly kill non Muslims. The prophets ways are clear to those of us who have learned and we can tell who claim to follow him and who actually follows him.
