Salafism doesn't allow for any of that, not any more than the rest of the sects. Calling others Kaffir? Barelvis, Shias, Ahmadis and most other sects do that too, alot. It's about individuals. Sick individuals are sick and they will twist any ideology to make it sick.
Nazism (kind of) used to be National Socialism - not that bad of an ideology. But Hitler turned it into a racist and destructive ideology. The same applies here.
I've seen plenty of Barelvi imams call Saudis or Deobandis or Salafis (What they call 'Wahabis') kaffir. Yet some of my best friends are Barelvis. Its about Individuals, individuals who twist ideologies. An ideology is nothing without its followers. An ideology didn't kill a hundred children today - individuals did.

Militants from the Pakistani Taliban have attacked a military-run school in Peshawar, killing 141 people, 132 of them children, the military say.
Officials say the attack in the north-western city is over, with all the attackers killed. Seven militants took part in all, according to the army.
Scores of survivors are being treated in hospitals as frantic parents search for news of their children.
The attack - the Taliban's deadliest in Pakistan - has been widely condemned.
There has been chaos outside hospital units to which casualties were taken, the BBC's Shaimaa Khalil reports from Peshawar.
Bodies have been carried out of hospitals in coffins, escorted by crowds of mourners, some of them wracked by tears.
Coffins were carried out of Peshawar hospitals
Empty coffins were delivered to a hospital in Peshawar in readiness for the removal of the dead
School pupil Mohammad Baqair lost his mother, a teacher, in the attack
A Taliban spokesman told BBC Urdu that the school, which is run by the army, had been targeted in response to army operations.
Hundreds of Taliban fighters are thought to have died in a recent military offensive in North Waziristan and the nearby Khyber area.
US President Barack Obama said terrorists had "once again shown their depravity" while UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said it was "an act of horror and rank cowardice to attack defenceless children while they learn".
Analysis: Aamer Ahmed Khan, BBC News
This brutal attack may well be a watershed for a country long accused by the world of treating terrorists as strategic assets.
Pakistan's policy-makers struggling to come to grips with various shades of militants have often cited a "lack of consensus" and "large pockets of sympathy" for religious militants as a major stumbling-block.
That is probably why, when army chief Gen Raheel Sharif launched what he called an indiscriminate operation earlier in the year against militant groups in Pakistan's lawless tribal belt, the political response was lukewarm at best.
We will get them, was his message, be they Pakistani Taliban, Punjabi Taliban, al-Qaeda and affiliates, or most importantly, the dreaded Haqqani network. But the country's political leadership chose to remain largely silent. This is very likely to change now.
Anxious family members crowded around Peshawar hospitals
A total of 114 people were injured
As the day drew to an end, military spokesman Asim Bajwa told reporters in Peshawar that 132 children and nine members of staff had been killed.
All seven of the attackers wore suicide bomb vests, he said. Scores of people were also injured.
It appears the militants scaled walls to get into the school and set off a bomb at the start of the assault.
Children who escaped say the militants then went from one classroom to another, shooting indiscriminately.
One boy told reporters he had been with a group of 10 friends who tried to run away and hide. He was the only one to survive.
Others described seeing pupils lying dead in the corridors. One local woman said her friend's daughter had escaped because her clothing was covered in blood from those around her and she had lain pretending to be dead.

Both girls and boys went to the school
Troops sealed off the area around the school
The school is near a military complex in Peshawar. The city, close to the Afghan border, has seen some of the worst of the violence during the Taliban insurgency in recent years.
Many of the students were the children of military personnel. Most of them would have been aged 16 or under.
Hundreds of parents are outside the school waiting for news of their children, according to Wafis Jan from the Red Crescent
Pakistani Taliban spokesman Mohammad Khurasani said the militants had been "forced" to launch the attack in response to army attacks.

ARY is known for its sensationalism - plus the question arises of how did they do it, did they have flamethrowers? Kerosene or some other fuel with them, possibly. Did they intend to burn the school down? The Army didn't mention that in their press conferences, so this is all speculation at this point.

I dont know anything about salafis but yes if for doing of some community people actions ypu think to kill all people of particular community; you are HITLERS. The theory wd apply to Muslims too; for Terrorism attacks is it permitted world to make Muslims of world responsible. Does all muslims responsible what ISIS muslim do at australia or else in world than Muslim countries. Your theories are absurd. Take revange against devils not agaist innocent by making some communities responsible.
