august utc salam i'm quite sure the two paragraphs below refer to salafi defined by the nd bullet point many others exclude the muslim brotherhood and deobandi since they believe these groups commit bid'ah or worse and not the first but i will have to do more research to nail this down salafis place great emphasis on ritual not only in prayer but in every activity in life three fingers should always be used when eating water is to be drunk in three pauses with the right hand while sitting making sure their galabea or whatever garment they wear does not extend below the ankle so as to follow the example of muhammad the sahaba the first generation of muslims the tabi in the second generation and the taba at tabi in the third generation citation needed and make religion part of every activity in life salafism differs from the earlier contemporary islamic revival movements of the s and s commonly referred to as islamism in that at least many salafis reject not only western ideologies such as socialism and capitalism but also common western concepts like economics constitutions political parties revolution and social justice muslims should not engage in western activities like politics even by giving them an islamic slant instead muslims should stick to traditional activities particularly dawah salafis promote sharia rather than an islamic political program or state
