One:
They hardly see any scholar of Sunnah wherever they are.
Two:
They warn against almost all Salafī scholars on the surface of the earth save a few.
Three:
They hold secret meetings.
Four:
They do not have good manners in dealings and religion.
Five:
They warn people from attending local madÄris under the pretext that those teaching them are innovators and rather direct them to listen and read translated words of the scholar from overseas (SPUBS, TROID and co).
Six:
If you are with them, even when you do not know anything and you speak about the deen, they will cover you up but once you disagree with them, you become ajhalu min abī jahl. (This is evident from those whom they regard as their teachers, even when they know that they are not fit for that and those whom they dropped and start disrespecting even when they know that they are mountains of knowledge)
Seven:
They are unnecessarily harsh against their brothers, it doesn't matter who you are, so far you do not agree with them tamaaman.
Eight:
Sisters tend to get caught up in their fitnah and become confused as to what to do.
Nine:
They tell you to refer back to the kibÄrul-'ulÄmÄ but they do not intend the kibÄr as in lajnah or teachers in several masÄjid in su'Å«diyyah or other salafÄ« scholars, rather they intend the few selected ones.
Ten:
Most of them are youths who have ghayrah for the deen but got caught up in the web of hizbiyyah (perhaps they do not know) and will accuse you of it given the slightest of opportunity.
Finally:
Although some of them will later jettision this way (this manhaj) but some will later become full time mumayyi' and some will leave the deen (this isn't a curse but from the past events that have occurred).
Their offshoot in Nigeria, Yorùbáland, are the members of 'The Pristine Methodology', the havoc they wreak have been seen by all.
