As far as I know rightfully by definition only, a Salafi is one who strives to be upon the path of the Prophet,his Sahabahs, and the rightly guided predecessors.And we know He the Prophet never preached ignorance, extremism, oppression, discrimination,etc.He was a just ruler who was respected by both Muslims and Non Muslims at his time and so were his companions. Who is the "Salafis" mentioned in the OP? "“The Salafis are trying to pressure the Muslim Brotherhood to follow the Salafi model" what model/method is this?what do they want and expect? Truly truly confused here and would appreciate you shedding light on this matter.
