No, this is not the response nor a way to resolve the conflict.
It's only to say that it's illogical and even dishonest (I'm not accusing
you) for Salafi inclined people to complain and moan once that those who they have calumniated slandered and "refuted" for many years finally wake up and simply
fire back.
Complain about the reaction without admitting who raised the whole problem to begin with, is simply dishonest and pathetical.
Again brother Quandary, I'm not talking about you specifically: I love your posts and read them with pleasure; it's that I've just had this exact discussion yesterday with another brother.
Sure, that's why I used the expression "to the point of".
It remains the fact that - even thought most of the Salafi scholar have been considerably more balanced - the vast majority of Salafi laymen which brang in almost any family big fitnas and accusations are the responsible for all this, and they can't cry out loud once that "our scholars" finally wake up and started smashing their arguments.
If they do cry out load and invoke respect for "differences of opinions", I feel it simply logical to call them double-standard dishonest.
That's why I call it a "reaction".
Had the Salafis not started all of this calling people to stop making taqlid of the four "mistaken" "divisive" school in order to follow the only scholars who correctly got "Qu'ran and Sunnah" Islam, now no scholar (and even laymen) would humiliate them badly.
