Is Somalia a Salafi country?

Thats not the athari position tho.
the athari position is to take it literally and at face value
That’s why I said much closer not the same. Plus atharis and asharis a spectrum we really can’t treat their beliefs as a monolith
 
I have noticed the people who promote sufism on here usually have the most liberal takes generally.

It is almost like they think that sufism is a more liberal form of Islam and that is why they promote it. Yet it is dying out and unlikely to ever return, even with big governmental support from the west it has been unsuccessful.

The taliban are sufi. It’s an Islamophobic view of Islam where there’s a “harmless nice” version of Islam, as if politics comes from religion!
 
Most people are nothing they just follow there local imam but the default postion of somalis is being ashari. I have studied both maturdi and ashari. hanifis are mainly maturdi and shafis are mainly ashari while hambalis are mainly salafi. Us somalis aren't hanbalis and it's a new thing with in our communities to even be salafi its only been the last 30 years that any salafis have even been around and they only began to exist because of Saudi funding.
False most somali salafi are Shafi in fiqh
and Ahlul hadith has been around for centuries in Somalia
Your correct here's the translation The fatwa from the grandson of Sheikh Muhammed ibn abdul wahhab who lived between 1779- 1869 mentions a group in Somalia who followed Tawheed
Also the Bardheere jamaa could also be refereed to as salafi they were were opposed to the magical powers the geledi ruler claimed to possess and other mystical practises in the region.
