How do we respond to those who attack the Salafis?

The questioner : Regarding dealing with some people, meaning, these Salafis do this and do that and do this, how do we respond?

Another questioner : Distorting the image!

The Shaykh : ... the Book and the Sunnah. We ask: What does the Salafi do? What does he do? Do you have evidence from the Book and the Sunnah? Unfortunately, those who attack the Salafis are more ignorant than Abu Jahl regarding the Book and the Sunnah, because they contradict what they found the fathers and grandfathers upon. However, if they take something from the Salafis, or at least from some of them, on the basis of the Book and the Sunnah, they accept it; because they are, in reality, and I say this frankly: they are slaves to the Book and the Sunnah, while the others are slaves to the inherited sayings of their scholars. This research is truly long-tailed, but as an answer to this professor's question, it is sufficient to clarify what the Salafi call is, and what its position is regarding the Imams?
The Salafi call is, therefore, a call to act according to the Book and the Sunnah, and not to interpret the texts of the Book and the Sunnah according to desires, but rather according to what the righteous Salaf were upon. The Imams are at the forefront of these righteous Salaf, and from them we draw our sound methodology.
