1. Unhealthy obsession with "bidah." Only care about being "compliant" with arbitrary (and arbitrarily rigid) interpretation of Islam. Self contradicting concepts.

2. Claim to follow Quran and Sunnah and not madhabs but really follow their own scholars

3. Claim to follow first three generations of Muslims but are only copycats and parrots, show no flexibility or understanding like the first three generations of Muslims.

4. All legality - no spirituality. No depth of understanding.

5. Same problem as with non-Salafi fundamentalist interpretations of Islam - take a few things from Quran and Hadith and go crazy with them, absolutize them, take them out of context, etc.

6. Salafism is the McDonalds of Islam, lots of fluff - little substance



SALAFISM IS BIZZARO ISLAM

And by that I mean the following:

"The concept of "Bizarro" has been ingrained in popular culture where it has come to mean a weirdly mutilated version of anything, not confined to characters in DC Comics publications[1] and as such, so has the concept of Bizarro World."

Skamed do you know any Salafis? Just curious is all because I know a LOT online and offline and they are nothing like how you claim you are. Some of the nicest, pious, spiritual Muslims I know identify as Salafi.

Subhan'Allah, you just backbited some of the most profound scholars of Islam. "Parrots?" So to mimick the teachings of Rusulullah (saw) is being a copy cat? we should try to interpret the quran and sunnah in our own ways right....

You seriously have some misunderstanding about "Salafi's" First of all, there isn't REALLY a groupd called SALAFI. If you follow the Quran, The Sunnah, and the Rightly Guided Salafs, then you fall under being a Salafi too. Imam Abu Hanifa, Imam Ahmed, Shaf'i, Imam Malik, they all followed the Quran, Sunnah, And the Rightly Guided Salafs. Its part of the FAMOUS hadith. How can you NOT. What we shouldn't do is blind following one madhab. Mostly seen in the sub-asian continent.

You really should watch what you say. And please...go learn about the SALAFS first.
