>are mainly political ones, that have Islamic connotations
connotations of kufr, politics can affect your aqeeda, and can make you a kaffir
you can't just believe the shariah of the Lord of the universe is cheap and not be a kafir
>I can't whole heartedly accept your explanation
I explained to you why they don't like each-other, one leans ikhwani the other leans madkhali, simple.
>I've heard that salafis forbid discussions on kalam and rationality so maybe thats why he doesn't talk about that.
you heard wrong, salafis dont forbid it if it's to help convert non muslims into islam, its just that once in islam, scripture overrides philosophy
> like I've heard that there were salafis during the Prophet (SAW)s time but there wasn't a distinction there,
no, thats wrong, idk where you "hear" things from, but you should be careful
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It is enough for a man to prove himself a liar when he goes on narrating whatever he hears."
[Muslim].
>they didn't differentiate themselves by calling themselves salafi, it was just a difference of opinion, so what was this difference in opinion.
that's just false, there was no such thing as salafi, since they themselves we're the salaf! what you are saying makes no sense, and they had ijma3 on aqeedah, which the salafis follow, I dont think you know what you are talking about and I suggest you read what I posted a few times
>It makes sense the way you say it, that then all sunnis are salafi, but then why is it that someone like Mufti Menk can say hes salafi, and then SPUBs and Shamsi say no he's not salafi, and then you can say no SPUBs is not salafi they're madkhali.
Because they act in a way contradicting the methodology of the salaf. Mufti Menk believes in democracy, gay rights, and believes he can decide when he shakes hands with a female. shamsi and spubs are dogs of the dogs of al saud, they blindly defend them and make excuses for allying with israel & USA. They have murjia beliefs in that they dont takfir based on actions. Its why they consider all secular tyrants who rip the shariah apart as muslims. Once cannot call himself salafi and contradict all the principles of the manhaj and islam. This is not hard to understand.
