Critical Analysis of Takfiri Salafi Encounter Methods to the Narrations about Criticism of Opponents

One of the widespread activities of Takfiri Salafiah, in the direction of hostility with their opponents including Shia and other Islamic religions, is criticizing their beliefs and opinions. But these critiques are made in contrast with the right principles and rules of criticism and thus, themselves should be critically analyzed. This paper firstly introduces the Takfiri Salafiah and then, investigates their various methods in referring to hadith and in opposition with opponents. For each method, some instances are mentioned and the criticism of the method is presented. By a survey of various works of Takfiri Salafiah, it is shown that they have utilized methods such as elimination of hadiths form sources, distortion of hadiths, referring to week and fake hadiths, accusing hadiths to be week or fake, and improper fragmentation of hadiths in order to criticize their opponents.
