Question: It is well know that the Salafi position and the Manhaj-us-Salaf is always against terrorism, but there are some kuffaar (disbelievers) who claim that the Salafi position is always in support of terrorism. So how do we refute this false claim? Answer: A Salafi is one who holds on to the Book and the Sunnah and upon what the Sahaabah ( الصحابة رضي الله عنهم – the Companions of the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم. May Allaah be well pleased with all of them) were upon, and those who were after them, and those who were after them, i.e. the Taabi’een and the atba’ Taabi’een ( التابعين and أتباع التابعين ). The Salaf ( السلف -the righteous predecessors) of this Ummah did not accept oppression and transgression. In fact they were upon mercy and ihsaan and justice. And they forbade people from oppressing each other and transgressing each others rights and taking rights from each other. And whoever says something or claims to do something, then it is upon him to present the hujjah ( حجة -the argument) with its proof. It is upon him that he has to establish what he claims with real proof. So whoever attributes this to As-salafiyyah then he has to prove it. As-Salafiyyah is free from terrorism and the terrorists. This is from their own selves. And whoever accuses the Salafiyyeen of being upon this, then it is upon him to have the proof for this. And this is not from Salafiyyah. As a rule, whoever has something to claim then he has to bring forth the proof.
