@Faisal

“Salafi” is the adopted name by those who were otherwise commonly known as Wahabis. Mostly from Saudi Arabian peninsula, and followers of the teachings of Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahab. The premise of Abdul Wahab’s teachings is borne out of his disgust at Turks, who were the dominant force in Muslim Khilafat at that time. Present day Wahabi/Salafis are generally very much against most muslim practices of Indo-Pakistan as well, and consider pretty much everything as bi’daa (innovation). Problem with this approach is that they tend to turn violent against people who don’t subscribe to their thinking. Origins of rise of Wahabi’sm is rife with killings of hundreds of thousands of muslims by the followers of Abdul Wahab. They were supported by the House of Saud, the present day rulers of Saudi Arabia. The same violent streak carries over to this day.

no sir,the problem is much older.salafi is a puritan thinking collection of zealots who want to take things in their own hands
