There are some points I want to make in context to what I posted.
A- As a peaceful and openly tolerant Muslim, who doesn't protest Sufis, deobandis, etc., Its actually a bigoted and very prejudiced statement to generalize Salafi Muslims.
B- The extreme Salafis, and actually Shias, and believe it or not many non-Salafi Asharis and Atharis, also protest against Sufism. Its not a Salafi monopoly but its the loudest. I disagree with those salafis as well. When you look at an intolerant Muslim, especially a Salafi sheikh who is bigoted towards Shias and Sufis, if you are anti-Niqab and always share that position no matter what you're bunched with those bigoted prejudiced Muslims. Obviously there is any position that CAN BE bigoted. You can be a bigot enforcing and hurting Muslims who don't wear niqab. You clearly can be for those who wear Niqab as well.
C- STOP IT! Stop protesting OTHER MUSLIMS!
To be an anti-salafi is a bigoted position in and of itself. There is no reason to protest me and my brothers and sisters who are all peaceful. All of my sheikhs I take from are peaceful and tolerant of other groups of Muslims. Being anti-Sufi is wrong. Being anti-Deobandi is wrong.
We're all Muslims. I just notice that the way anti-Salafis talk to salafis is in generalizations of us. They stigmatize us and group us up like Islamaphobes do to all Muslims.
I just can't help but share the Islamophobia I've received from other bigoted Muslims. Also to say that if a Salafi once hurt you, and yes there are many extreme Salafis, doesn't mean you generalize all of us therefore. Thats exactly what Islamaphobes do. Salafi Islam is not evil. Its not incompatible with modernism. Its not intolerant and bigoted. I'm living proof.
Don't you see? I'm talking to anti salafis the SAME WAY as Islamaphobes. Look at yourself in the mirror next time you try to talk against Islamaphobes and defend Islam if you yourself are anti-Salafi and intolerant against me and my positions.
I'm Muslim too. I'm not accountable for other Salafis and i'm not generalized with them. My sheikhs and brothers and sisters are not evil and aren't like that. I'm human too. I deserve to have legitimized positions as well as sufis, deobandis, and asharis. I'm equal.
LET SALAFIS LIVE! Let us have our Niqab, stop protesting us at every chance you get! If you feel the need to be an anti-Salafi activist and generalize all Salafi people with statistics and polls, then shame on you. You're no longer allowed to say you're not a bigot. I'm not a bully. I'm a Muslim. I share more in common with peaceful non-bigoted Deobandis and Shias than I do with bigoted Salafis who make takfir on Muslims who don't wear Niqab as well as those ignorant Liberals who always argue that Niqab is not apart of our religion.
Peace.
If you're a Salafi, Sufi, Deobandi, Shia, Ashari, Athari, etc. you're not my enemy. I'm not intolerant to your positions but me sharing my opinion and being strong in my faith in my positions doesn't make me intolerant. It doesn't make you bigoted to say "Niqab isn't apart of the religion." It does make you bigoted within context.
There is never a reason to share that general knowledge on the internet without being parallel with other bigoted Muslims in our community. There is no reason for you to protest other Muslims. If you do it in protest its bigoted. Otherwise should every Deobandi start protesting non-Deobandi positions anywhere they see for academic discussion? Should Sufis start protesting non-Sufis now? Should Malikis start protesting Hanafis? Everyone has their right to do what they want. That doesn't mean a person can get away with being racist or intolerant of others.
Stop protesting other Muslims. There are Muslims who disagree with you. Chill please. Stop trying to change our position and stop doing group think and grouping up Salafis making them group accountable for each other just like Islamaphobic people do with all Muslims.
