Abu Bakr Shekau is not a Salafi, by his own admission, he declares Salafis to be non Muslim indeed he even emphasied Salafis before mentioning other sects.. In addition Boko Haram are universally considered khawarij by Salafis including the extremist Abdullah el-Faisal. IslamicrevialistmMujahid (talk) 07:00, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

The authentic source from Brill publishers states that he is a Salafi. The link you provided from http://www.authentictauheed.com is not a reliable source. It is a hate site. Saheeh Info 08:52, 18 March 2016 (UTC) My point was merely to show that even extremists hate preachers consider him a khariji, Brill are not Muslims.IslamicrevialistmMujahid (talk) 10:47, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

A refutation of this written by a Nigerian Salafi Muslim scholar, IslamicrevialistmMujahid (talk) 10:51, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

In addition I brought the words of SHEKAU HIMSELF, declaring Salafis to be disbelivers, so who knows better Shekaus beliefs, himself or a publisher?IslamicrevialistmMujahid (talk) 10:53, 18 March 2016 (UTC)


 * The sources you have all provided are all weak and are unacceptable by Wikipedia standards. Read WP:IRS. Websites such as http://www.authentictauheed.com and http://salafimanhaj.com/ are hate sites written by people who think that anybody outside of their sect / cult are deviant. BRILL Publishers is considered a proper source. Saheeh Info 21:48, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

This needs to be updated, a few of the sources redirect to hijacked domains Densc (talk) 09:52, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Salafi
Dar ul Tawheed does not translate as specialist in Tawheed rather a better translation would be the Land of Tawheed. IslamicrevialistmMujahid (talk) 07:03, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
