promote a more tailored version <strong>of</strong> Salafiyah– and has added very little, if any, value to the lives <strong>of</strong>struggling Muslims in the West. Those who, their only intent and desire is to sincerely practice thisreligion without the bombardment <strong>of</strong> sophisticated ignorance and rhetoric that is circulated onthese websites void <strong>of</strong> any real substance or food for the soul. <strong>The</strong>se sites are only designed topreoccupy them from the real objective <strong>of</strong> getting closer to Allah in a society that is largelydominated by Shaytan (i.e. Iblees), heavily occupied by the sacrilegious and set up for us toultimatel fail religiously.One <strong>of</strong> such sites is known as SalafiTalk.net. This particular site has throughout the years played acrucial role in the poor and dysfunctional condition(s) <strong>of</strong> many Salafi communities around theworld. I would like to draw the reader’s attention to the comment <strong>of</strong> Shaykh Khalid Ar Radaadee(may Allah preserve him) made years ago about the exploitive contents <strong>of</strong> this site and theadministrators <strong>of</strong> it:“I would like to bring attention to the point that I have advised the owners <strong>of</strong> this site –SalafiTalk.net– may Allah guide them, that they stay away from spreading ‘Qeela wa Qaal’ (i.e. thisone said and that one said) on this site <strong>of</strong> theirs, and that they remove a lot <strong>of</strong> the statements andopinions that contain a lot <strong>of</strong> Ta’addee (i.e. excessiveness) and ignorance. In these statements aswell, there is a lot <strong>of</strong> injustice, making incorrect judgments/rulings as well as hastily spreadingnarrations. I have advised them about this, and they promised that they would remove a lot <strong>of</strong>these issues from their website.What is even stranger is that they are selective. <strong>The</strong>y select from the sayings <strong>of</strong> the Mashayish (i.e.scholars) and students <strong>of</strong> knowledge that which is in agreement to their way and their Minhaj (i.e.methodology). If they find a saying <strong>of</strong> a shaykh (i.e. scholar)that is in agreement with their desiresthey run with it, put it on their site as well as advertise and propagate it …” (courtesy <strong>of</strong>www.Madeenah.com)Abu Khadeejah Abdul Wahid Alam, who resides in the United Kingdom, is the chiefadministrator <strong>of</strong> this site, which is a catalyst for the repressive and destructive behavior that manyother sites affiliated with it exemplify, that many may not be aware <strong>of</strong>. <strong>The</strong>se sites include, but arenot restricted to: SalafiPublications.com, Troid.ca/troidpublications.com, Mpubs.org(Muwahideen Publications), barelwis.com, bidah.com, Aqidah.com, Tawheedfirtst.com,Sunnah.tv, Takfiris.com, Asharis.com, Islamagainstextemeism.com, Salafyink.com etc. in additionto countless Yahoo groups, Facebook pages and miscellaneous blogs. And it is through these sitesthat Abu Khadeejah and his constituents have managed to monopolize and dominate the “Salafi”content disseminated on the internet. This is how many <strong>of</strong> his positions against other callers (i.e.da’ees), scholars, Masajid, websites etc. are spread rapidly throughout the world and are able tocreate massive turmoil and cause colossal damage to many communities abroad as well as thereputations <strong>of</strong> those poor individuals who oppose or disagree with him.<strong>The</strong> iniquity <strong>of</strong> Abu Khadeejah has no limits, for he accused Shaykh Waseeallah Abbas (mayAllah preserve him and produce many more scholars like him) <strong>of</strong> oppressing him and even went6 | P a g e w w w . r a w d a h . o r g
