walaikum asalaam
I meant that by their own definition they are Salafi. I use the term "hardcore" to indicate that they are very serious about their salafism. As in Salafipubs, Troid type of salafis.
If you're upon what they are upon, as you say, and you don't think there is anything wrong with that, then you needn't get offended by what I said. Most hardcore Salafis are proud of being such.

In all honesty the people of that area is a bit rough around the edges. However I cannot speak for all of them it's basically the environment that came up upon, Newark, NJ is a rough crowd, they've accepted Islam and are doing their best to learn the deen. Actually they've cleaned up that place from all of the hoodlums who reside in that particular section of Newark. it's truly refreshing to see the muslims who're walking around in their thoubs, niqabs etc in the city of Newark. I can speak the same for the brothers in Baltimore,Washington DC and also Philly that are doing the same as well.

As you stated that most hardcore salafis are proud of being such is a bit of a blanket statement bro. Alex, alot of it comes from the lack of understanding and the lack of sabr when dealing with others. There have been alot of 'isolated cases' that has arisen however people fail to realize is that alot of muslims who accept islam bring about alot of baggage with them. It's going to take a moment to get this baggage removed from them. Those brothers that I've ran across some of them will give you the shirt off of their back. Therefore from their actions that we see are doing their best to learn and practice this deen. I feel like it's important to cover their faults and be patient with these individuals who really don't understand much of what is going on besides anything outside of (Bukhari, Muslim, etc....)
