Gurey i've heard it from them selves, my old primary school friend whom i met after not seeing him for a rather long time.
He asked me are you a 'Salafi?' i replied if you mean by what the modern Salafi is then no, i replied i consider myself to be a muslim shafi'i who's praciticing tassawuf/spirituality, he said is that Sufism? i replied Yes. Then he said brother stop you are going to areas where there's alot of bida3 and shirk which can end up on you leaving the deen, come to salafiyya its the reserved sect for jannah.
And about the 4 madhabs, i've heard they said that following these 4 madhabs is bida' or something close to that, isn't the 4 madhabs part of the best 3 generations?
they want to reform almost everything in the deen, the men of the past who lived between 632-1700 shaped the deen , educationally and all aspects where you can find people following what they tought today, the salafis expect to throw that out of the window and adapt to something new.
