The Salafi Da'wah's Position on the Common People Who Do Not Understand the Book and the Sunnah

The Shaykh : So, what is our position regarding these common people, whom the writer fears may be led astray because of our call to follow the Book and the Sunnah?
The reality that appears to me is that the writer is referring to what we hear often, and very often, from some people who have not understood the Salafi Da'wah, neither from the da'iyah (callers) themselves directly nor from their writings, but rather they understood the Salafi Da'wah from its opponents and enemies.

He had heard of the known non-sectarianism (lamadhhabiyah) and similar things, which this writer refers to, that we call all people to follow the Book and the Sunnah; meaning that the ignorant understand the Book and the Sunnah with their ignorance. So I explained the issue to him with some detail. In brief, I told him: ...
