Regarding the 85% so called true united Muslims...…
Look up the map of Makkah and you will see up until 1925 there were 4 Musallahs in Kabba. Hanfi's will only pray behind Hanfi and Shafi will only pray behind Shafi and so on. Why? Because they have very major differences; for a Hanafi to pray behind Shafi means the prayer is not accepted. This is not unity my brother. This is Divisionism which started only a century after the death of Prophet Muhammad PBUH. A true Muslim is only one who follows Quran and Sunnah, there is no other criteria. I wish one day you get to understand this very simple thing.
If we are united, then our brothers and sisters should not be suffering in Kashmir and Palestine. How can we even eat when we know that our sisters are being raped in Kashmir? Do you think companions would have gone to talk to America to solve our problems?
We consider the Salafis are brothers in faith. That article in link addressed the Salafi Ulema I think who have come across all the evidence for the madhabi way being correct but still they adhere to the way of Ibn al-Wahhab
The Salafi laymen are all sincere InshAllah thus it is hoped Allah will overlook their mistake
The non ahlus sunnah Muslims are not non-Muslims but are deviant who would spend a temporary time in hell
Regarding the shia, we do not do blanket takfir on them and only excommunicate those who we come to know have some kufr beliefs
Rasul (saw) told us in hadith why Muslims will be in the wretched state they are today :
In a hadith, the Prophet said: “It is very close, that different nations will invite one another against you, just as people seated around a platter of food invite one another to consume that food.”
Someone asked the Prophet: “Will we be few in number that day?”
The Prophet said: “No you will be many, but you will be like the rubbish of the flood. Allah will extract from the hearts of your enemies their fear and Allah will cast in your hearts wahn (weakness).”
Someone asked the Prophet: “What does wahn mean?”
The Prophet said: “The love of the dunya (the world) and the dislike (fear) of death.”
Hanafis and shafis pray asr at different times so this may have been the reason why they had different musallahs, but generally, after their initial period, the friction between different madhabs vanished and unity was achieved
We follow Quran and sunah, there is no disagreement about that, but we just say these 2 sources need expert interpretation, so the non experts follow the experts
Oops, this is turning into another sectarian debate so I better exit before it's too late! :)
