Dear Zayd what Salafi advocate and what they practice are two different things My mother s family ranges from Barelwi to Tafdheelies and Shias My father s family ranges from Barelwi s to Deobandies and Salafies What sickens me is the will of a Salafi to kill in cold blood what he considers a Biddati Mushrik Kafir Qabar Parast etc Recently Allama Hassan Turabi a Shia scholar who did much for peace between Shias and Sunnies was killed by an 18 year old suicide bomber who was a student in a Salafi Madrassa Before that a couple of suicide bombers killed 72 Barelwies during their Maghrib prayers Their fault they were celebrating the Prophet Muhammed s birthday which seems a sin punishable by death Before that a couple of suicide bombers blew scores of visitors to the Shrine of Bari Imam who is revered by both Shias and Sunnies Their sin They were reading holy Quran for the soul of the saint In all three incidents the victims were non militants and many were women and children I can not tell you how sick I felt when I saw the Salafi s joy on the death of all those Kuffars May Allah send all those sickos to hell with their suicide bombers and the Saudi Fianciers
