3 Nov 2019Responding to Refutations Did the Salafi movement play a part in producing modern extremism?

20 Oct 2018Responding to Refutations What is Yasir Qadhi's background, and where does the Salafi movement come from? Qadhi's arguments stem from a hard-line Salafi formation, and Wahhabism in Mufti Abu Layth's account is a doctrine of literalism hostile to reason founded by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, whom he calls a deviant for permitting the killing and enslavement of Muslims. He traces the Salafi scholars of the 1970s to the movement behind the 1979 seizure of Mecca.
